What is mean by virus load?

Virus load refers to the amount of virus present in a specific volume of blood or other bodily fluids. It is often used to measure the severity of an infection and monitor the effectiveness of treatments, particularly in viral diseases like HIV and hepatitis. A high virus load typically indicates an active and progressing infection.


Where do animal cell viruses take their envelope from?

Howdy fellow user! The envelope of a virus is made of a lipid bilayer derived from the host during the budding stage, basically the exiting stage of a newly made virus particle. Let's do a little rewind. The virus infects the cell to make many copies of itself by using the transcription and translational machinery available there. The virus proteins are translated first. Some of them are envelope proteins that get collected on the surface of the cell in a designated spot so when the virus buds off, it takes the bilayer with the accumulated envelope proteins. Hope you found this response useful! 😄


What does HBs Ag mean?

HBsAg stands for hepatitis B surface antigen. This antigen is a protein on the surface of the hepatitis B virus and is the marker used to diagnose acute or chronic hepatitis B infection. Detection of HBsAg in the blood indicates an active hepatitis B infection.


What does hcv reactive mean?

"HCV reactive" indicates that a test for Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has returned a positive result, suggesting the presence of the virus in the bloodstream. This means that the individual may be infected with Hepatitis C, which can lead to liver disease if not treated. However, further testing is necessary to determine the stage of infection and whether it is acute or chronic. It's important for individuals with a reactive test to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.


Which is more harmful bacteria or virus?

No a virus is generally much worse than a bacterial. Bacterial are single celled organisms that are very big compared to a virus. You can kill bacterial in many ways such as antibiotics which make the bacteria cell walls burst, or with heat, cold UV light, silver or radiation. Bacteria reproduce by cell division so 1 becomes 2, 2 become 4 etc. A virus is not really a life form, it is just DNA in a thin membrane. The virus can enter a cell in the body where it hijacks the natural mechanisms inside the cell and uses them to replicate the virus DNA, This goes on until the cell is full of virus and eventually bursts releasing them so they can infect other cells. So where bacteria can multiple quickly by division, A virus can multiple very quickly by using the host organism to replicate it. Many thousands of viruses can be made by a single cell. Mankind has cures and treatments for thousands of bacteria but has only ever eradicated one virus. The smallpox virus. We can treat people for viral infections which block the virus entering the cells or we can use drugs which slow down or stop the replication of a virus when it is inside a cell, but mainly it is down to the immune system to defeat a virus. Inoculations against a virus expose the immune system to parts of a virus or a similar but harmless virus, so if we become infected by that particlular virus in the future. the immune system will recognise it straight away and start to fight it. But this does not mean we are always immune to that virus, The immune system can still loose the fight!

What does the term undetectable viral load mean?

The term "undetectable viral load" refers to a level of virus in the blood that is so low that it cannot be measured by standard laboratory tests. This is often used in the context of HIV treatment, where achieving an undetectable viral load indicates that the virus is effectively suppressed by antiretroviral therapy. An undetectable status significantly reduces the risk of transmitting the virus to others. It is important to note that "undetectable" does not mean the virus is gone; it means it is controlled to a level that is not detectable.

What is the lyctic cycle?

I suppose you mean "lytic cycle". It's the reproductive cycle of virus in which upon entering the host, the viral genome directs the host genome to produce viral proteins and after assembly and maturation of viral particles, they get released by host lysis. There is another cycle called lysogenic cycle in which the viral genome integrates with the host instead of causing lysis.
