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 is a fluid containing weakened disease causing viruses of bacteria?
A fluid containing weakened disease-causing viruses or bacteria is known as a vaccine. Vaccines stimulate the body's immune system to produce antibodies to protect against future infections by the same pathogen.
What are cancer causing viruses known as?
The pathogens that cause cancer are called, "Carcinogens."
Disease-causing organisms are known as?
Bacteria and viruses that cause illness are known as pathogens.
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.
An example of a latent viral infection is?
Herpes simplex virus is an example of a latent viral infection. After initial infection, the virus can remain dormant in nerve cells for long periods of time before reactivating, causing recurrent outbreaks of symptoms.
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
What are adenovirus Infections caused by in general?
Adenovirus infections are caused by a group of viruses known as adenoviruses. These viruses can lead to a variety of illnesses, including respiratory infections, conjunctivitis, and gastroenteritis. Adenoviruses are spread through close contact with infected individuals, contaminated objects, or droplets in the air.
Viruses make the host cell produce new viruses which kills th host cell?
Yes, viruses hijack the host cell's machinery to replicate themselves, eventually causing the cell to burst and release new viruses. This process, known as lysis, results in the death of the host cell.
What is a viral infection that causes the host cell to burst and die in order for the newly synthesized virus to be released?
This process is called "lysis" and the viral infections that cause the host cell to burst and die are known as "lytic infections." In lytic infections, the virus hijacks the host cell's machinery to replicate its genetic material and produce new viral particles, ultimately causing the cell to burst and release these new viruses to infect other cells.
What family of proteins whose specialty is fighting viruses by slowing or stopping their multiplication is known as?
The family of proteins known for fighting viruses by inhibiting their multiplication is called interferons. Interferons are produced by the immune system in response to viral infections and play a crucial role in protecting the body from viral pathogens.
