What is most common threat to a host organism posed by an invading virus?
The most common threat posed by an invading virus to a host organism is the potential for the virus to hijack the host's cellular machinery to replicate itself, leading to the destruction of host cells and tissues. This can result in various symptoms of infection and overactivation of the host's immune response, which can cause further damage to the host organism.
What is measles bacteria or virus?
Measles is an infection of the respiratory tract that can be caused by both a bacteria and a virus. Most people think of the virus strain typically, as there is a vaccine for it, and people rarely need to be treated with antibiotics for the bacteria strain.
What is the most common threat to the host organism posed by an invading virus?
destruction of cells by viral reproduction
What type of organism causes measles?
Normal measles is caused by the Rubeola virus. You most likely got vaccinated for it as a child - it's a part of the MMR (measles mumps rubella) vaccine. Make sure not to confuse Rubeola (normal measles) with Rubella (German measles) as they're slightly different viruses :)Does anybody know because I really need to know for my science stuff and I don't have a clue! Help please. Many Thanks.chocolate
When a virus invades a host the most common threat is?
The most common threat when a virus invades a host is the disruption of normal cellular functions and immune responses, leading to symptoms of infection and potential damage to the host's tissues and organs. Additionally, viruses can hijack host cells to replicate and spread, potentially causing widespread infection.
Name a common virus that appears in childhood?
The virus that causes chicken pox is probably one of the most common viruses that affects young children. The common cold virus is also well-known and a frequent illness in childhood. Measles, mumps, and ruebella are much less common now due to vaccinations (the MMR series) given during the 1st year.
If a patient has measles why would antibiotics not work?
Antibiotics can only work against bacterium, whereas measles are caused by a virus.
What is the medical term for 14-day measles?
There are many terms for the 14 day measles, but the most common are: Measles Rubeola
When are measles most contagouse?
Measles is most contagious during the period starting four days before the rash appears and continuing until four days after. This is when the virus is present in high concentrations in the nose and throat. Vaccination is the best way to prevent measles transmission.
What country is measles most common?
Measles is most common in countries with lower vaccination coverage, such as several countries in Africa and Asia. The disease can easily spread in areas where there are pockets of unvaccinated individuals.
What individuals are most likely to develop subacute sclerosing panencephalitis from measles infection?
It is most common among people who had measles infection prior to the age of two years.
What is the relationship between a virus and a host?
Virus require a host to carry out the most of the characteristics of living organisms. In almost cases, viruses require a host to reproduce (by hijacking the cells of the host and using its DNA to make copies of itself) and also receive the bulk of their energy from the host.
