Both genital warts and genital herpes can cause lesions in or around the genital area, so may be mistaken for each other but they are caused by different viruses. Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and genital herpes is the result of the herpes simplex virus (HSV)....
Since then COVID-19 has spread around the world causing unprecedented levels of illness and deaths.The SARS-CoV-2 virus is from the family of viruses called coronaviruses that usually causes respiratory tract infections. There are multiple variants of the virus including Alpha, Beta, Gamma, ...
The novel coronavirus is a new disease strain in a family of viruses called “coronaviruses,” which were discovered in the late 1960s. They cause everything from mild to severe upper-respiratory tract illnesses (plus a range of other documented symptoms) and are zoonotic, meaning they’re tr...
HIV attacks the immune symptoms in the body, particularly the important helper cell called CD4. The responsibility of this cell is the defense of the body from illness. The immune system cannot completely eject the virus from the body as it does to other viruses. If a man is infected with ...
(EBV) and the human papillomavirus, a recent study47showed that these viruses perturb the host network in a highly localized fashion, indicating that primarily the proteins directly connected to viral targets play a mechanistic role in the implicated diseases. We examined the HSDN network for ...
Viruses in plants have to accomplish two movement stages: cell-to-cell transfer from infected cells to neighboring healthy cells and long-distance transport from source to sink via the vascular system to establish systemic infection. Plants also activate defense mechanisms to combat viral invasion. ...
There are different types of UTIs. An infection in the urethra is calledurethritis, and symptoms may include pain in the upper back and side, high fever, shaking and chills, nausea, and vomiting. Both bacteria (likeE. coli) and viruses (likeherpes simplex) can cause urethritis. ...
(HRIG) only if you've never had a rabies vaccine before. HRIG immediately gives your body antibodies until it is able to make its own in response to the rabies vaccine. An antibody is a type of protein your immune system makes to fight off harmful viruses, bacteria, and other intruders....
Thus, many thousands of variant HIV viruses are produced every day. Furthermore, HIV DNA can also incorporate into the infected cell’s DNA. These unique abilities allow HIV to evade the body’s defenses and help explain why an effective cure or vaccine has not been possible. The mutations ...
Depending on the disease, STDs can be spread with any type of sexual activity. STDs are most often caused by viruses and bacteria. The following is a list of the most common STDs, their causes. Additionally, there are other infections (see STDs with asterisk mark*) that may be transmitted...
