For cell infection to occur, a sufficient density of membrane receptors must bind to ligands on the virion surface [46,47,48]. Coronaviruses that cause severe respiratory diseases, such as SARS, contain spike proteins that interact with receptors like ACE2 on host cells. SARS-CoV-2 primarily...
In most cases, upper respiratory infections resolve within 1 to 3 weeks (7 to 21 days). However, some symptoms, such as cough and congestion, may persist for longer periods, even after the infection has cleared. The duration of your infection may vary depending on factors such as the type...
Middle ear infection.This infection affects the air-filled space behind your eardrum. Tubes that run from your ear to the back of your throat become blocked and swollen. This causes mucus to build-up in the middle of your ear. Asthma.This condition causes your airways to become inflamed and...

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a significant cause of lower respiratory tract infection in infants and elderly. To understand the evolution of neutralizing epitopes on the RSV glycoprotein (G) and fusion (F) proteins, we conducted a multi-year surveillance program (OUTSMART-RSV) in the US...
In hindsight, it is not that surprising that the skin reacts to ultraviolet irradiation similarly to how it reacts to other stimuli, such as physical injury or infection. UVB light might increase production of AMPs in the skin through increased local production of 1.25‐dihydro...
24 A relatively low dose of 103 to 104 infectious viral particles may cause infection; thus the virus may spread rapidly among susceptible cattle exposed to the animal shedding virus in close proximity.25 Clinical signs include fever, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, inappetence, and labored breathing. In...
