Viruses are microscopic particles that invade and take over both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. They consist of two structures, which are the nucleic acid and capsid. The nucleic acid contains all genetic material in the form of DNA or RNA, and is enclosed in the capsid, which is the protein coating that helps the virus attach to and penetrate the host cell. In some cases, certain viruses have a membrane surrounding the capsid, called an envelope. This structure allows viruses to become more stealthy and protected. There are two cycles in which a virus can go into: lytic and lysogenic. The lytic cycle consists of the virus attaching to a cell, injecting its DNA, and creating more viruses, which proceed to destroy the host. On the other hand, the lysogenic cycle includes the virus attaching to the cell, injecting its DNA, which combines with the cell’s DNA in order for it to become provirus. Then, the provirus DNA may eventually switch to the lytic cycle and destroy the host.

Nucleopolyhedrosis virus (NPV) is a chemical agent containing gypsy moth parts causing viral disease of insect larvae. NPV is sprayed aerially over relatively large areas and poses minimal risk to both workers and the general public. There is, however, a lack of both human toxicity and exposure data so most of the risk assessment concerning NPV come only from experimental mammals. From this data, there has been no evidence of systemic or respiratory disease conditions. Under certain conditions, NPV may cause eye and skin irritations. But, only when

The virus fuses with the cell’s plasma membrane. The capsid proteins are removed, releasing the viral proteins and RNA. Reverse transcriptase catalyzes the synthesis of a DNA strand complementary to the viral RNA. Reverse transcriptase catalyzes the synthesis of a second DNA strand complementary to the first. The double-stranded DNA is incorporated as a provirus into the cell’s DNA. Proviral genes are transcribed into RNA molecules, which serve as genomes for the next viral generation and as mRNAs for translation into viral proteins. The viral proteins include capsid proteins and reverse transcriptase (made in the cytosol) and envelope glycoproteins (made in the ER). Vesicles transport the glycoproteins from the ER to the cell’s plasma membrane. Capsids are assembled around viral genomes and reverse transcriptase molecules. New viruses bud off from the host cell.

Repeatedly throughout human history disease, and illness epidemics have altered the timelines of many civilizations across our globe. Thousands of diseases have been progressively recorded over time, nonetheless many of them have been eradicated due to the evolution of medical advancements. In today’s modern history new diseases are continuously discovered, while a few remain persistent from the past. An extravagant amount of history surrounds epidemics, they can lead to the social explanations for human’s actions during a time.

Ninety percent of all Yellow fever cases were reported in Africa. The period of time from contracting the infection to development of symptoms is generally three to six years. The virus is not contracted by direct contact with human to human. Not only do the mosquitoes spread the virus to humans they can spread it to monkeys. This means if a mosquito bites a monkey that has the fever they can pass it to humans, this can lead to major outbreaks. Through all the Yellow fever cases around thirty thousand of them led to death. Yellow fever was thought to have originated in Africa and was brought to America on the slave ships. The virus is a single-stranded RNA virus that belongs to the flavivirus senes. After the transmission of the virus occurs, it replicates in religion lymph nodes and silently spreads through the bloodstream. The widespread dissemination can affect the kidneys, lymph nodes, spleen, liver, and bone marrow. In addition to these, it can affect the other organs in the human body. Yellow fever is not just a virus it is a hemorrhagic condition that can lead to death. The United States has worked hard to eliminate this insect, having officially eradicated it from the united states and Canada.

As conditions worsened at the mills with wage cuts and longer hours the women began to go on strikes. The first strike (the strike of 1834) was to prevent a wage cut but Unfortunately for the mill girls the strike failed and they returned to work days later. The second strike (the strike of 1836) was to prevent a rent hike and this time the mill girls were successful. Getting tired of the women workers demands for more pay and better working environment the factory owners began to hire poor Irish immigrants who were flooding into America to escape the “Irish potato blight”. The Irish men and women were willing to work for low wages and were much more compliant to the demands of the

Between 2006–2007, many beekeepers had begun to report losses of 30-90 percent of their hives. Close to 50 percent of the affected colonies have showed signs inconsistent with the known causes of honeybee death (Colony). The main symptom of the Colony Collapse Disorder is very low if not zero adult honeybees present in the hive, although a live queen is still present. There are also no dead honeybee bodies present, and often still honey and younger bees present in the hive. Verroa mites, a virus-transmitting parasite of honeybees, are often very frequently found in the hives that have been hit by Colony Collapse Disorder (Honey). Beekeepers have experienced unexpected losses such as this before; research has shown many other honeybee colonies seen losses during the 1880s, 1920s and 1960s. The descriptions of these losses sound very similar to the Colony Collapse Disorder, although there is no way

Although agmatine was discovered in the early 1900's, it is still not a well known substance yet. The reason for this is that most of the studies pertaining to it have only been done on animals. But very little of the research has been tried out on a group of humans. Still, the animals in the experiments had a similar DNA sequence as humans, so a lot of the information can be used as far as what effect that it has on the body. It has become crucial that people learn the facts regarding what agmatine can do because supplements containing the substance have already been put out on the market despite the lack of research that is available. So this article will discuss some of the most important aspects of this product for those who are interested in trying it.

Cotton/Texas root rot. Cotton root rot disease is one of the most destructive and difficult to control fungal diseases that can attack more than 2,000 broadleaf plant species. Cotton growers face the threat of significant crop damage to seedlings and potential devastation near maturity.

I personally do not think that agriculture was the worst mistake in human history, but many of the negative results of it are still in existence. Some of the consequences that affected agriculturists during its early times have been resolved or neutralized. As humans became more proficient at growing crops and trade became more efficient and viable, a larger variety of food was available. The biodiversity in the food has increased now so that today, there is not a consistent low-nutritional diet for most people. Pastoralism has also advanced to the point were animal products and meat are more available for everyone. The overall life expectancy has also increased greatly from the 19-26 years presented. There are also medical advances and

Variola and other orthopoxviruses contain an unexampled set of genes whose protein products effectively modulate the numerous defense functions of the host organisms.

The protective capsid helps the virus escape detection and destruction during the invasion of the host. When the virus reaches the target cell, biochemical reactions between the capsid and cell wall allow the virus to latch on and inject its genome into the cell’s interior. Once inside, the viral genetic material insinuates itself into the host’s DNA or RNA. In an efficient feat of natural bioengineering, the host cell’s genetic machinery now does the rest of the work for the virus. The cell, which had already been making copies of its own genome, now also replicates that of the virus. Coded within the viral material is the blueprint for making more copies of the viral genome. Further instructions command the production of capsids and directions for assembly of new viruses. After the host cell becomes engorged with viruses, it explodes, sending the new

The similarity between the poliovirus and already solved plant virus’s led to a better understanding of how the poliovirus can regenerate within a host. Although the virus was similar to other plant viruses. The poliovirus was covered with more elaborate loops that are the site of monoclonal antibody escape mutations (Hogle, Chow and 229: 1358-1365Filman, Science). Individual proteins of the virus particle are produced by proteolytic cleavages from a larger precursor, yet the amino and carboxy-termini produced by proteolysis are very distinct. By noting this, Hogle and his team were able to conclude that proteolysis was not just making a lot of proteins from one gene, it is also controlling the timing of assembly (Hogle, Chow and Filman, Science 229: 1358-1365).
