What type of microscope can be used to study a viruses?
What part of the body does rabies mainly effect?
Rabies attacks the nervous system. Once the virus gets into the nerves near the place it enters the body, it will travel to the brain.
Carrot consumption, believe it or not!
Who cares i no how 2 stop it kill all Mexicans and all ugly swans (pigs) which is all the swans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the doctor help sick people better
What is the difference between allergies and the flu?
Well, for starters, hay fever is basically an overabundance of mucus excretion due to some form of inflammation of the sinus membrane by an allergen, or a bacteria, or a viral infection. The flu is an infectious disease caused by RNA viruses of the family Orthomyxoviridae (the influenza viruses), that affects birds and mammals. Its highly contaigious whilst hay fever is localized to the host (your sinuses).
How many cases have their been in the US of Ebola?
no but there has been one case in canada, a woman traveling to congo came back with the virus but it wasn't spread any further
What is the common name for Ebola virus?
The Ebola virus is the actual name of the pathogen that causes Ebola. Yes, it is a virulent pathogen, but that is to the name, just a description.
What is worse Ebola or anthrax?
Many people (probably a majority) believe Ebola is the deadliest virus. To be completely honest, I can understand why. For many years Ebola has killed millions of people, however, scientist have contained it and are still arguing if they shall destroy the virus, or keep it for medical research. Yet...anthrax is still a disease that can be caught and spreaded. I believe anthrax is the worst of all communicable diseases, especially anthrax beta, which is used for biochemical warfare. The natural anthrax however, is no force to reckon with.
Anthrax is a very easy virus to spread, especially through cattle or other farm animals. When it first enters the body, the virus' symptoms are very similar to that of a cold, soar throat, fever, coughing, and vomiting. If these symptoms are not treated they become much worse. Coughing can become severe, such as coughing blood, fever can rapidly increase to 105 degrees, and the skin starts to boil, melt, and even fall off. The high grade fever gave anthrax the nickname the Red Death.

Note: the person who wrote the above is a moron. Ebola has not killed "millions" - it has killed around abouts two-thousand since it was discovered in 1976. "Scientists" have NOT "contained" it. New outbreaks occur periodically in sub-Saharan Africa all the time, as the virus is transmitted from animal contact there. As of 2014 there is a large-scale outbreak of the virus going on in West Africa - at the time I'm writing this. But usually it pops up in sparsely-populated, remote areas. If it got into a major metropolis, it would be horrifying.
The author made up a lot of that crap about Anthrax too, which is relatively treatable these days. Still bad, but certainly not in the same realm as Ebola, which can have mortality rates over 90%. Anthrax is a bacteria though, not a virus. They're apples and oranges.
Cutaneous Anthrax does not cause the skin to "boil, melt, or fall off", as the idiot above suggests. No. It causes a painless rash. The author is just making things up.
Anthrax has never been referred to as "the red death".
There is no such thing as "anthrax beta". The author is a filthy liar. The only difference in 'weaponized' Anthrax is that the spores are milled to be small enough to distribute through the air. The bug itself is unchanged.
This is why the Internet is awful - uninformed fools get to spew their half-formed, promulgated nonsense as if it were gospel truth, with no checks or balances, and in so doing they spread their ignorant misconceptions and outright lies.
What are the two methods of viruses replication?
The only way viruses can replicate is by parasitizing living cells and using the cell's mechanisms to replicate their genetic materials and protein components.
Can you die from a rabies vaccine?
No, you cant die from any vaccine. Vaccines are only the simple versions of diseases or colds. In your case rabies. Vaccines only help the body practise fighting germs so that they can counterattack the real thing if it ever comes.
Why did you bleed after the flu shot?
They usually don't, but they can. Typically only a few drops on a band aid. They are usually given IM (intramuscularly) and so there is a possibility that the needle will go through and break a small blood vessel as it moves through the skin and subcutaneous tissue into the muscle. That blood can move out to the surface of the skin through the needle track. They almost always stop bleeding in a matter of a few seconds to a few minutes. If they do not, try holding pressure on the spot until the bleeding does stop. If it continues for more than a half hour or if it bleeds briskly or large amounts, then you should contact your health care professional or the person who gave the injection to report it and get instructions.
Why don't antibotics work on viruses?
Hey there fellow user!
Antibiotics are meant to target bacterial proteins which are not at all seen in viruses.
Additionally, bacteria are a bit different to viruses since they have ribosomes, plasmids, antibiotic resistance proteins, pumps that chuck out the antibiotics from the bacteria and proteins that pretend to look like the antibiotic's target protein, to name a few. Also, not to forget the mutations that they can undergo due to some errors that creep in during the genome replication.
Viruses don't have any of that, but they have pretend-proteins and the ability to mutate which can affect the structure of the virus or any of its proteins a bit but good enough to evade the antiviral drugs. However, antibiotics are useless against all viruses and it doesn't need to put much of an effort to protect themselves. I
mportantly, taking an antibiotic during viral infection can only make the pathogenic bacteria hiding in there develop resistance against it, only to come back stronger and make the antibiotic useless during treatment. That here is antibiotic resistance and that is pretty fatal.
Sorry for the long detailed answer, I hope this helped you plenty though! 😄👍
Can you get a cold after the flu shot?
Yes, the seasonal flu vaccine is meant to cover the types of flu expected to be most dominant during any given flu season. However, many other flu viruses exist which would not be covered by that particular flu vaccine.
If you actually get the flu, and not just a mild reaction to the vaccine (which can seem similar at first), it will most likely be because you:
What temperature kills Ebola virus?
Ebola is not alive so it can not be killed. However, it can be made inactive by boiling. (212F or 100C)
What steps occur when chickenpox virus initially infects the body?
Scratching chicken pox sores can make the sores spread. Fingernails can also scratch the skin, creating tears in the skin which could allow bacteria to enter (in which case you'd have chicken pox plus an infected skin wound).
What part of the body does a virus attack?
The Bird Flu affects the respiratory system. Respiratory Acute Syndrome is one of the common symptoms of Bird Flu. Acute respiratory disease syndrome (ARDS) is a lung condition resulting in low oxygen levels in the blood. The human body's organs, for instance, the kidneys and the brain, lack enough oxygen to survive.
Does the Ebola virus have a vaccine?
There is no known vaccination for the virus yet. Only experimental procedures have been used.
Is polio virus a microorganism?
Microorganism means very small sized organism. It can not be seen with naked eye. You have to use microscopes to see it. Polio virus is a virus. Virus are too small as compared to other microorganisms. So polio virus is included in the category of the microorganisms.
Dogs can get Parvo by laying in other dogs feces. They can also get it by going in public and by eating other animals after there dead.
Can the flu cause disorientation?
Diabetics can frequently have peaks and crashes in blood sugar. Low blood sugar as well as high can cause a plethora of problems one of which being dizziness and disorientation. With a well regulated diet these shifts in blood sugar become less frequent.
