Pathogenesis: Pathogenesis is a method or event by which an infection results in acute or chronic disease. Microbial infection (caused by bacteria, fungi or viruses), malignancy, tissue breakdown, or inflammation are types of pathogenesis. Answer and Explanation: Dengue fever is an infection caused ...
What causes dengue fever?Question:What causes dengue fever?Dengue Fever:Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne illness. Some of the symptoms of this infection include fever, joint pain, and skin rashes. There is currently a vaccine against dengue fever. However, it is only recommended for individuals...
Of particular note was the detection of infection with Orungo virus, a little-known pathogen for which there are no robust assays. Using immunofluorescence assays, the researchers also identified IgM antibodies against several viruses, including Dengue, West Nile, and Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic ...
However, more concrete results eluded him. Based on the previous work of German physician Robert Koch, who discovered the bacteria that causestuberculosis, Mayer thought he should be able to isolate and grow the pathogen behind tobacco mosaic disease in lab dishes. However, he was unable to isol...
DC-SIGN, a C-type lectin encoded by the CD209 gene, plays an important role in the early interaction of pathogens with dendritic cells and has a key role in dendritic cell T-cell interaction, dendritic cell migration, and pathogen uptake [11]. DC-SIGN is a type II transmembrane protein ...
23-25 March 2017 Abstract Background: Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging human pathogen. Since its arrival in the Western hemisphere, from Africa via Asia, it has become a serious threat to pregnant women, causing microcephaly and other neuropathies in developing fetuses. The mechanisms behind ...
Pretty much every industry can harness CRISPR as a tool in some way: it can create new drug therapies for human diseases, help farmers grow pathogen-resistant crops, create new species of plants and animals — and maybe even bring back old ones....
The DNA from the pathogen is not integrated into the host's genome; hence, it is transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA), and then translated into proteins. Substantial risk is represented by the possibility that the recombinant viruses may integrate their genome into the human host, which ...
Vector-Borne Disease Causes Vector-borne diseases are caused by the bite of infected insects like mosquitoes, ticks, and sandflies, which act as carriers. Most of these vectors are insects that suck human blood, which is when pathogen transmission occurs. These vectors first ingest a disease-cau...
What is the pathogenesis of dengue fever? Which diseases are transmitted by tiger mosquitoes? (a) What is Chagas disease? (b) What kind of treatment does it require? Name the pathogen which causes malignant malaria. Other than spreading malaria, which other disease does anopheles mosquito spread...
