What else can I help you with?
What do you have a another of when you have the flu?
Influenza is a virus, so you have a virus.
Is influenza virus prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Influenza virus is neither prokaryotic nor eukaryotic. It is classified as a type of virus, which is considered non-living and contains genetic material (RNA or DNA) surrounded by a protein coat. Viruses are distinct from cellular organisms and do not fit into the categories of prokaryotic or eukaryotic.
Which statement best describes why lyme disease can be treated with antibiotics while influenza cannot?
influenza is a virus and not bacteria, so antibiotics will have no effect. Lyme's disease is a bacteria so they do work
Can you get influenza and then a week or to later get the stomach flu?
I believe so. The stomach flu isn't the flu at all and is a digestive system ailment. The flu is influenza, a respiratory virus.
What pathogen causes influenza?
The signs and symptoms of the flu infection are:"Having Flu Symptoms Can Make Moaning Children A Nightmare":HeadacheFeverSore throatChillsMyalgias (pains)MalaiseCoughAnorexiaNasal congestionThe influenza virus causes influenza. There are a number of different subtypes and many have caused pandemics. These subtypes are A, B and C. Type A causes human "flu". This virus mutates rapidly and the vaccine must change quickly as well.A pathogen is anything that can produce disease or an infectious agent. A pathogen for influenza has a globular or spherical shape. Influenza is caused by a virus.
Is influenza aerobic?
Influenza is indeed aerobic because it can be transmitted through the air
Why is influenza contagious?
So that the virus has plenty of host animals from which to hijack cells to be used for replication/reproduction of the virus. See the related questions on this page for how it is spread.
Can a person eats infected virus pork get influenza virus?
Not unless the virus on the pork was inhaled and it was a strain to which the individual was susceptible Normally you would only eat cooked pork, so any virus would be dead.
What is the neurominidase of a virus?
This is an enzyme that helps the virus to break out of the cell and so they can attack other cells and spread. Since this is an enzyme, a drug that is an enzyme inhibitor can be made to block it. The mumps and influenza viruses have this enzyme. Two such drugs that block this enzyme are oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza). These two are used for the influenza virus.
What is the disease that requires an annual vaccination?
The influenza virus mutates so rapidly that a new "crop" requires a yearly vaccination. Each year you are getting vaccinated for a new virus.
Why don't we become immune to the influenza virus after exposure?
Because the virus changes every year, so immunities developed to protect against one won't stop the other one
How big is an individual virion of influenza virus?
Approximately 130 nanometers for average. Size varies by specific virus, however, and influenza viruses can range from 10 to 300 nanometers. The nanometer is equal to one billionth of a meter, or one millionth of a millimeter. They are about 1/100th the size of bacteria. Most are "nano" size and too miniscule to be seen with a regular light microscope, so electron microscopes need to be used to visualize the virus particles.
