Disease-causing organisms are known as?
Bacteria and viruses that cause illness are known as pathogens.
What is the difference between active virus and latent virus?
A hidden virus is known in the words in its name "HIDDEN virus". It hides and stays inactive. The active virus is also known in its name too "ACTIVE virus". The two viruses have different ways on spreading it own kind throughout the host or hosts.
What are cancer causing viruses known as?
The pathogens that cause cancer are called, "Carcinogens."
Can somebody virus become active once a year?
Some viruses go latent and then become active later. Various viruses in the herpes family are well known for this: oral herpes - cold sores, chicken pox - shingles, etc.
When a pathogen lies dormant in its host before going active what period is it in?
This is known as the latent period. If the virus is active, not dormant, but not causing any symptoms yet, this is known as the incubation period.
What are names of some harmful microorganisms?
Examples of bacteria pathogenic for a human are:§ Staphylococcus aureus, causing skin infections, pneumonia, infection of the heart valves, etc.§ Streptococcus pyogenes, causing "strep throat", cellulitis, etc.§ Neisseria gonorrheae, causing gonorrhea§ Salmonella, causing diarrhea in food poisoning§ Helicobacter pylori, causing chronic gastritis§ Mycoplasma, causing atypical pneumoniaViruses usually cause systemic infections, affecting the whole body. Examples of viruses, pathogenic for a human:§ Rhinovirus, causing common cold§ Influenzavirus, causing flu, bird flu, swine flu§ Herpes simplex virus causing herpes labialis (cold sore) or herpes genitalis§ HIV, causing AIDS§ Ebolavirus, causing hemorrhagic fever§ List of viruses pathogenic for a human
An example of a latent viral infection is?
During a latent infection, the viral genome is present within the host's cells but it is not being replicated nor is any cellular destruction taking place. Some viruses for which latent infection in the main type of host-virus interaction are:Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)Herpes Simplex virus (HSV)Varicella Zoster virus (VZV)Cytomegalovirus (CMV)Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)
Do viruses have any known predators?
Since viruses are nonliving, they have no known predators.
Cancer-causing viruses are known as?
Cancer-causing viruses are known as oncogenic viruses or tumour viruses. These viruses can integrate their genetic material into the host cell's DNA, disrupting normal cellular functions and promoting uncontrolled cell growth, which can lead to the development of cancer. Examples of oncogenic viruses include human papillomavirus (HPV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV). These viruses can cause various types of cancer, such as cervical cancer (HPV), liver cancer (HBV and HCV), nasopharyngeal carcinoma (EBV), and adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (HTLV).
What virus causing respiratory illness?
There are many different viruses that can cause respiratory illness. One that has been in the media is H1N1, also known as the swine flu.
What should you do after photographing a processed latent fingerprint?
The photograph of the latent print should be transmitted to a central office where it can processed by comparing it with existing known fingerprints in order to identify the person responsible for the latent prints
How is a person infected by pneumonia?
Pneumonia is an infection of the lung, and can be caused by nearly any class of organism known to cause human infections. These include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
