Omicron is already among the most infectious human viruses known to science.40 While even greater infectiousness (such as the sub-variant BA.2 has exhibited) is possible, to become dominant a new variant would likely need to also partially or fully evade prior immunity, including that provided...

When did the innate immune system evolve? What types of virulence factors do Toxoplasma gondii produce? What are virulence strategies? What affects bacterial growth? What factor determines the pathogenesis of Staphylococcus organisms? How have antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria evolved? When did an...
When are viruses taken up by viropexis? When was visceral leishmaniasis discovered? When was the Ebola epidemic? When was the swine flu epidemic? Where does smallpox occur? When was the flu pandemic? When did the flu vaccine become mainstream? When is adenovirus contagious? What is the diff...
In today’s world, several factors have converged that compel us to initiate therapy as soon as possible: 1) The biology of viral replication (1 to 10 billion viruses per day) strongly suggests that we should be starting early. 2) Resultant inflammation from unchecked replication is associated...
It should be important to note that migratory birds spread theInfluenza Aviruses to the geographically unrelated regions. In the eastern part of the country, outbreaks of an H5N1 avian flu occurred in January 2009. Since then, several outbreaks led mass mortality of commercial and household chicken...
Viruses can make us ill, but fungi can alter our very minds. There's a fungus that infects insects. Gets inside an ant, for example, travels through its circulatory system to the ant's brain, and then floods it with hallucinogens, thus bending the ant's mind to its will. The fungus...
China is seen by some epidemiology experts as an epicenter for human pandemic influenza viruses. What are the specific points about China that would make this probable? What sorts of problems might this designation create? When did the innate immune system evolve?
