Yes, rabies is a viral disease that affects mammals, including humans. It is caused by the rabies virus, which is usually transmitted through the bite of an infected animal. Rabies is a serious and often fatal illness if not treated promptly.
Why does a virus need the host cell?
Viruses do not have the capability to reproduce. They are simply a strand of DNA or RNA, inside a protein coat. They infect a host cell and hijack the host cell's reproductive faculty, creating more viruses.
Virus bacteria or fungi which is the smallest?
A virus is typically the smallest of these three biological entities, as it is much smaller than bacteria and fungi. Viruses are even smaller than the smallest bacteria and fungi, and can only replicate inside the cells of a living host organism.
The incubation period for the flu virus is typically between 1-4 days, with symptoms usually appearing within 2 days of exposure. However, it can vary depending on the individual's immune system and other factors. It is important to seek medical advice if you suspect you have been exposed to the flu virus.
Roughly 2/3rds of viruses have RNA as opposed to DNA. The term "RNA virus" means that ribonucleic acid is the type of nucleic acid that holds the genome.
DNA viruses: adeno, hepadna (hep B), herpes (herpes and chicken pox), papova, parvo, pox (smallpox etc.)
RNA viruses: picorna (rhino - common cold), calici, orthomyxo, paramyxo (measles and mumps), corona, retro (HIV), toga (rubella), flavi, bunya, reo, arena, filo, rhabdo (rabies)
What is the structure of a typical virus?
A virus is basically DNA or RNA (single- or double-stranded)surrounded by a protein capsule.
Typically the protein coat, or capsid, of an individual virus particle, or virion, is composed of multiple copies of one or several types of protein subunits, or capsomeres. Some viruses contain enzymes, and some have an outer membranous envelope. Many viruses have striking geometrically regular shapes, with helical structure as in tobacco mosaic virus, polyhedral (often icosahedral) symmetry as in herpes virus, or more complex mixtures of arrangements as in large viruses, such as the pox viruses and the larger bacterial viruses, or bacteriophages . Certain viruses, such as bacteriophages, have complex protein tails.
The inner viral genetic material -the nucleic acid- may be double stranded, with two complementary strands, or single stranded; it may be deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA). The nucleic acid specifies information for the synthesis of from a few to as many as 50 different proteins, depending on the type of virus.
Why are virus not living organisms?
They are not classified as living because they cannot replicate DNA or RNA without a host and do not have metabolism with out host.
But they can be also classified as a living organism because they have life cycles, and virions that vary greatly in shape, complexity, and size. They are also the most numerous life-forms existing on earth
What is the Precautionary measures in disposing household materials?
We dispose of plastic by putting garbage that includes plastic in a big land fill that is specially reserve for garbage. And then the plastic decomposes for hundreds of years.; Because its cheap enit blud. lol
How does an active virus multiply?
Once inside a cell, a virus's genetic material takes over of the cell's functions. It instructs the cell to produce the virus's proteins and genetic material. These proteins and genetic material then assemble into new viruses.
What does the outer coat of a virus do?
The outer coat of a virus, also known as the viral envelope or capsid, protects the genetic material of the virus and helps the virus attach to host cells. It may also contain proteins or glycoproteins that allow the virus to enter host cells and evade the immune system.
How did the flu get the name influenza?
The term "influenza" originated in Italy and comes from the belief in medieval times that epidemics were caused by the influence of unfavorable astrological alignments. The Italian phrase "influenza di freddo" means "influence of the cold," linking the disease to cold weather. Over time, the term influenza became associated with the respiratory illness we now know as the flu.
Is varicella zoster virus gram negative of gram positive?
Gram-positive and gram-negative refer to the Gram stain used to prepare slides of bacteria for viewing under a light microscope. Viruses are too small to see under a light microscope and have to be prepared differently for viewing under an electron microscope. So the answer to your question is neither
can u be more specific, this is a list of some human diseases caused by viruses:
It seems there may be a spelling error in your question. However, if you meant "peplum," it is a flared or ruffled piece of fabric that is attached at the waist of a dress, top, or jacket, creating a decorative element. Peplums can add shape and volume to an outfit.
No, a flue is not a virus. A flue is a duct, pipe, or chimney for conveying exhaust gases from a fireplace, furnace, boiler, or smokestack. On the other hand, a virus is a small infectious agent that can replicate only inside the living cells of an organism.
Cell in which a virus multiplies it self?
A virus multiplies itself in a host cell by using the cell's machinery to replicate its own genetic material and produce new viral particles. The virus takes over the host cell's resources to create copies of itself, eventually causing the host cell to burst and release the newly formed viruses to infect other cells.
Bacteria virus and their general characteristic?
Bacteria are unicellular microorganisms, typically a few micrometers long and have many shapes including curved rods, spheres, rods, and spirals. A virus is a sub-microscopic particle that can infect the cells of a biological organism, behaves as a nonliving thing outside it's host.
When a virus enters a cell it?
When a virus enters a cell, it injects its genetic material into the cell. The virus then hijacks the cell’s machinery to replicate itself, producing more virus particles. This process can ultimately lead to cell death and the spread of the virus to other cells in the body.
What is the difference between cells and viruses?
Virus: is a strand of hereditary material surrounded by a protein coating that can infect and multiply in a host cell.
Host Cell: a living cell invaded by or capable of being invaded by an infectious agent.
Is Brucellosis virus used in treatment of spindle cell carcinoma in horses?
Brucellosis is a bacterial infection caused by Brucella species, not a virus. It is not used in the treatment of spindle cell carcinoma in horses. Treatment for spindle cell carcinoma in horses typically involves surgical removal of the tumor, followed by additional therapies such as chemotherapy or radiation depending on the extent of the disease.
What are the harmful effects of human viruses?
i think it's Family Parvoviridae (20-25 nm in diameter), that's is according to the book of Maria Danessa Delost entitled Introduction to Diagnostic Microbiology, page 338 isn't it the polio virus??
Did fungi cause the influenza?
No, fungi do not cause influenza. Influenza is a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses, not fungi. Fungi typically cause infections such as athlete's foot, yeast infections, or fungal pneumonia.
Can biological virus inhibit in salt?
A biological virus is very strong and lives on the border of living and non-living and so it will just form a cyst around itself when in salt. After favourable conditions come (if you remove it from salt), it will find a host and be active again. So, in salt, it will just become inactive, it won't die. There are some viruses which exist in salt lakes, completely active such as salt lake archaeal virus. Visit this site for more info on that virus: http://www.physorg.com/news131129209.html
A picture of the influenza virus?
I'm unable to display images as I'm a text-based AI. However, the influenza virus is a spherical particle with proteins on its surface that help it infect cells. It contains genetic material in the form of RNA and is known for causing the flu in humans.
