Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a virus that affects many people in the world. This paper will discuss the history, taxonomy, structure, and replication of the virus. The common symptoms, treatments, and vaccinations will also be discussed.
The herpes simplex virus was first mentioned as far back as 400 BC. Hippocrates wrote about symptoms of lesions. He used the word “heparin” which means to creep or to crawl. Between 14AD and 37AD Emperor Tiberius banned kissing from public festivals and ceremonies because he understood that the disease was passed from person to person. In 1893 Emile Vidal proved that the herpes simplex virus is transmitted from person to person. The virus was first isolated in 1925 by Frederic Parker and Robert N. Nye by growing the virus in vive using rabbit’s testis cells. The Herpes simplex virus is commonly known as just herpes.
HSV is part of the family herpetoviridae and the genus simplexvirus. There are two strains of this virus: HSV1 known as the oral infection and HSV2 known as the genital infection. The structure of the virus is an enveloped, icosahedral capsid, and single linear double-stranded DNA. The capsid contains dsDNA, α and β proteins. The α proteins regulate the reproductive cycle and block the presentation of antigenic peptides on the host membrane. The β proteins are in charge of the viral nucleic acid metabolism and capsid proteins. The glycoprotein spikes are gB, gC, and gD. There are many modes of transmission of the virus like
The Herpes simplex virus or HSV is a member of the herpes virus family. HSV
Herpes is one of the common of more than 30 different sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s) in America today. Herpes is an infection that is caused by one of two closely related viruses, herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). Both of which are very easily caught, have similar symptoms, and can occur on different parts of the body. Even though it is most common to see the virus HSV-1 appear as oral herpes and to see the virus HSV-2 appear as genital herpes.
The herpes virus is one of the most prevalent viral diseases known to man. As much as eighty percent of all people, worldwide, have herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1), and twenty percent have herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV2). This may sound like scary statistics, but most infected people suffer only mild discomfort. The more common form, HSV1, usually causes the occasional blister-like sores on or around the mouth. These blisters are called cold sores or fever blisters and, as most sufferers know, they are annoying and mildly painful but rarely dangerous. If the sores are left alone, they will generally heal up in five to twenty days. The less common version, HSV2, has the same symptoms except that the sores are usually found on or
HSV is a human nuclear DNA virus that can replicate in many different species of animal as well as in many different types of cells. It can gain access to different types of cells due to its 12 envelope surface glycoproteins and uses the heparan moiety of the receptors to attach to cells
Herpes simplex is a viral infection, also known as HSV. The virus is highly contagious. It can be transmitted by close or direct contact with an infected person. The herpes appear anywhere on the body. The most common herpes simplex is oral herpes and genital herpes. The oral herpes cause cold sores and fever blisters around the mouth and on the face. The genital herpes are generally around the genital.
Herpes is not medicated right away it can form some type of cancer. The regular
Herpes is a highly contagious viral infection with the family of eight different types of virus that affect the human body. There are (HHV1) which is also known as herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1). This type target the facial area with cold sores on the lip of the mouth. Also, there is (HHV2) that is refer to as herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV2) which typically causes genital herpes, a sexually transmitted infection. Another is (HHV3) that is called varicella-zoster virus. HHV3 causes chickenpox. It can also cause a recurrent virus infection of the skin, which is called herpes zoster or shingles. In addition, there is the (HHV4) which is known as the Epstein-Barr virus. It is the major cause of infectious mononucleosis, or "mono" - the "kissing disease." It is a contagious infection and is passed on through saliva. Coughing, sneezing, or sharing utensils with an infected individual. Also, the (HHV5) it is the official name of cytomegalovirus (CMV) which is also the cause of mononucleosis. People that has a healthy immune system this virus at times does not show any symptom It can be sexually transmitted, it can cause problems to newborns, and cause hepatitis. Not only through sexual contact can CMV be passed on but, also by breast- feeding, blood transfusion, or by organ transplant. This infection is one of the hardest complication on Aid Victims It causes diarrhea, severe vision impairment including blindness, infections of the stomach and intestines, and even death. There is
The ones I just mentioned are some symptoms of HSV. When someone is feeling that type of way, he or she should go for herpes test. The effects of HSV is that once it is contacted, it stays in the body forever, though it might be inactive. It can cause sores in the genital area. Some women have this sore in their sexual organ (vagina). The effect of HSV can make it easier for one to get HIV. It can cause problems in the nervous system, this is because once it is contacted, it will travel through the nerves and affect it. It can also cause pregnancy problems, this is when the disease (HSV) will go from the mother to the unborn child, causing fatal problem. If you are seeking for help on how to prevent HSV, ask your partner about his or her sexual history. Also ask your partner to be tested for genital herpes. Please don’t drive while intoxicated. I don’t know why someone would want to do that. To prevent HSV, one of the sexual intercourse partner should use a latex condom during every sexual contact, limit the number of sexual partners. People with HSV should abstain totally from sexual
In the funeral world there are a lot of different styles of funerals. For example, Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic funerals. Both very different, but at the same time they have several things in common. In funerals there is an abundance of things to compare and contrast. We will be looking at different ways the notification of death is handled in both of these religions, removal, embalming, dressing/casketing, visitation requirements/rituals, and interment or cremation.
Genital herpes is a virus that can be transmitted through unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Often, the virus is dormant and the carrier is unaware of the chronic disease they hold. There are two types of herpes, HSV-1 and HSV-2. There are only a few symptoms for this virus. They may be blisters on the genital areas, and sores around the outside of the mouth. People that do show symptoms will show within four to seven days after the infection has already entered their body. These symptoms may last as long as twenty days. Initially when someone becomes infected-if they show symptoms- the symptoms will occur frequently, and then as time passes will slowly spread out. Each time gradually getting less severe. Other symptoms may also be vaginal
Herpes virus cannot be spread through using the same objects as someone who is infected. Many people believe it can be spread through toilet seats and sharing towels. Organisms that cause herpes cannot survive outside the human body for a long period of time. You can have normal contact with people and even date people without them contracting the disease.
Being affected by and diagnosed with Herpes is a very personal and often very frustrating time in one's life. While the Herpes virus is not life-threatening, it will stay with you for the rest of your life which is why it is often considered to be taboo. Unfortunately, even the healthiest and safest people can contract the Herpes virus. This is because the virus can be transmitted through a simple kiss, through sexual contact even if safer sex precautions are taken such as wearing a condom, or even through non-sexual physical contact due to the fact the virus can remain active on the skin's surface even if it does not produce a visible symptom such as a wart or cold sore.
This can be contacted from another person after direct skin-to-skin contact, mouth contact, or sexual contact. When the virus is first caught, it does not always show up on the skin, but can lie dormant within special parts of the sensory nerves. Later in life, the virus can become active again and appear as herpes simplex on the skin. Areas which are most commonly affected by herpes simplex are the lips (as cold sores) and the genital area (as genital herpes).
Discrimination of all sorts is known as one of the most controversial problems we have in our world. Humans want to see people who are like to them, it's natural instinct to focus on racial groups, religion, sex, and color. They are some countries in the world that are more free than others, such as the United States of America. Unfortunately, there are still certain groups of people who don't show respect to minorities and immigrants. It is essential to respect each person, and that every individual can be given the same opportunities. Despite efforts to combat discrimination, the act still manages to exist through prejudice and stereotypes in schools, workplaces, and daily life.
Ah, Monday’s the start of a new week; there is nothing like waking up in the morning filled with exhilarating excitement for the week to come. I woke up feeling like I lost a cage match with Rocky Balboa. I ached everywhere for no reason what so ever. Getting out of bed was a great endeavor I threw back the covers and planted my feet onto the floor. Still sitting I grabbed my right thigh with my opposing arm and pulled popping my back.
