Economic importance of all types of virus?
Viruses have positive and negative economic importance. On the negative side, viruses cause loss of productivity as well as loss of plants and animals. On the positive side, viruses have been engineered to destroy pests which attack crops. Viruses which attack bacteria have also been used to protect plants and animals from disease.
How do you get rid of viruses on your Xbox 360 console?
There have been no viruses created for the Xbox 360.
What consists of pathogens that have been weakened?
Live vaccines contains weakened viruses of the disease. These viruses can not cause the disease but give immunity to the recipient. ( In the initial days of such trials, 18 patient got the rabies due to vaccine and died.)
Can computer viruses delete work?
Computer viruses are programs, and will do whatever they have been programmed to do. Some are certainly programmed to destroy data, and badly programmed ones may inadvertantly corrupt system files too.
How do immunization work to prevent infectious disease?
Vaccines are important tools that help prevent the spread of infectious diseases. A vaccine is a substance introduced into the body to stimulate the production of chemicals that destroy specific viruses or bacteria. A vaccine may be made from dead or altered viruses or bacteria. Because they are dead or altered, the viruses or bacteria in the vaccine do not cause disease. Instead, they activate the body's natural defenses. In effect, the vaccine puts the body "on alert." If that virus or bacterium ever invades the body, it is destroyed before it can cause disease. You may have been vaccinated against diseases such as polio, measles, tetanus, and chickenpox.
What is a disease that is controlled by gentic engerneering?
None so far have been successfully treated. The mechanism for doing it by introducing viruses into cells has been shown that it could be used in the future.
Is A foodborne illness a disease that is transmitted to people by food?
Yes, a foodborne illness is a disease or illness that is transmitted to people by food that has been contaminated. Food can be contaminated by bacteria, viruses, toxins and parasites.
What percentage of the world have had viruses and been hacked?
50% of the world has had viruses and has been hacked.
Why doesnt the measles vaccine protect you from all of these disease?
AnswerBecause it does not help in production of the antibodies against other diseases inside the human body.ExplanationMeasles vaccine contain measles viruses (alive) called antigen. The measles virus inside it are alive but do not cause this disease because they are weakened in laboratory to the point where they are still alive and able to reproduce but do not cause serious illness.When this vaccine is inserted inside human body, the T type lymphocytes (White Blood Cells) detect the type of vaccine viruses (measles) and then B type lymphocytes produce the antibodies against measles viruses.The measles viruses of vaccine are alive so they reproduce themselves inside the human body and the number of antibodies against them also increases. Antibodies bind to these viruses and destroy them. Now the measles viruses of vaccine have been destroyed but the antibodies against the measles viruses are still there and they prevent from the actual measles viruses.These antibodies can not prevent from other virus because every virus has different structure so different antibodies are needed to destroy it. Antibody for a specific antigen should have a shape and structure that is able to fit into this pathogen.Then it will be able to inhibit the activity of this pathogen.So the other diseases are prevented by other vaccine having the viruses of this disease which help the production of antibodies against this specific disease.The viruses of vaccines may be killed or alive.
What are the incomplete viruses called that have been linked to certain diseases such as scrapie and mad cow?
Mad Cow Disease and Scrapie are NOT caused by incomplete viruses or any virus of any sort. They are caused by PRIONS, which are misfolded proteins much tinier than any virus, complete or not. If such disease were caused by viruses they would easily be cured by an antibiotic, but since they are not caused by bacteria or a virus, such vaccines cannot be made because there is nothing for such a vaccine to target.
Does HorseIsle have Viruses?
No. I have been playing for about half a year, and there is NO viruses. -Yelonda, Palomino Server
Why won't the antibodies for measles work against chickenpox?
Antibodies for measles don't work against chickenpox virus because antibody for measles virus can not bind to chickenpox virus. Antibody for a specific antigen should have a shape and structure that is able to fit into this virus. Then it will be able to inhibit the activity of this virus. When a measles vaccine is inserted inside human body, or when someone has measles, the T type lymphocytes (White Blood Cells) detect the type of viruses and then B type lymphocytes produce the antibodies against this specific type of virus. If viruses of the vaccine are alive they will reproduce themselves inside the human body and the number of antibodies against them also increases. Antibodies bind to these viruses and destroy them. Now the virus (of specific disease which needs prevention) which was in the vaccine have been destroyed but the antibodies against this disease viruses are still there and they prevent from the actual disease causing viruses. Antibodies are specific: An infection with the measles virus means that the person makes antibodies only against measles. It doesn't make any antibodies against chickenpox too.
