Concept explainers

Virus

Viruses are infectious microscopic agents that can only reproduce in live cells of animals, plants, or microbes and are smaller than bacteria. Vertebrates, invertebrates, plants, protists, and fungi are among their many hosts. Viruses are unable to multiply on their own due to the lack of necessary cellular machinery, but they can guide the cell machinery of a host to make additional viruses by infection. The virus enters and attaches to a particular host cell, injects its genetic material, and reproduces by using the host’s genetic material. Viruses cause infection by taking entry into the host cell and using the host cell’s enzymes and raw materials to multiply.

Social environments influence multiple traits of individuals including immunity, stress and ageing, often in sex-specific ways. The composition of the microbiome (the as- semblage of symbiotic microorganisms within a host) is determined by environmental factors and the host's immune, endocrine and neural systems. The social environ- ment could alter host microbiomes extrinsically by affecting transmission between individuals, probably promoting homogeneity in the microbiome of social partners. Alternatively, intrinsic effects arising from interactions between the microbiome and host physiology (the microbiota-gut-brain axis) could translate social stress into dysbi- otic microbiomes, with consequences for host health. We investigated how manipu- lating social environments during larval and adult life-stages altered the microbiome composition of Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies. We used social contexts that par- ticularly alter the development and lifespan of males, predicting that…
Use the following formula to explain the relationships among theseveral factors and what happens when they change:Infection (infectious disease) = No. of organisms × Virulence _____________________________________ Host resistance
The term "colonization" is best described as: a large group of unicellular organisms presence of bacteria on our body that may not necessarily cause harm a virus that will colonize bacteria and make the disease more virulent all of the above
Clostridium difficile infection is the leading causeof hospital-associated gastrointestinal illness. It is typicallytreated with a course of antibiotics, but the infection recursin about 20% of cases. C. difficile infections are difficult toeradicate because the bacteria exist in two forms: a repli-cating, toxin-producing form and a spore form that is resis-tant to antibiotics. Fecal microbiota transplantation—thetransfer of normal gut microbiota from a healthy individ-ual—can resolve >90% of recurrent infections, a much bet-ter cure rate than further antibiotic treatment alone. Whydo you suppose microbiota transplantation is so effective?
Virulence factors allow microbes to be pathogens. This means that a bacterium with more virulence factors _____. View Available Hint(s) for Part G cause a more severe immune response by the host can infect a greater variety of hosts can more easily infect hosts and cause disease will be more deadly
Diseases caused by different types of pathogens have their own seasonality. That is, there is a higher frequency of bacterial and viral diseases in winter and a higher frequency of fungal and parasitological problems in summer. I explain winter, you explain summer. In winter, people are indoors with frequent touching of the same surfaces, breathing of the same air, as well as frequent contact. Bacterial diseases spread through touching of common surfaces while viral diseases also are spread through breathing in of infectious aerosols (someone’s sneeze, microbes in recycled air). Therefore the incidence of bacterial and viral diseases are greater during the winter. Why are fungal and protozoan diseases more important in the summer? (3 good reasons).
Clostridium difficile is a part of the normal intentinal microbiota. When multiple antibiotics are used to treat infections, C. difficile can overgrow and cause mild to life threatening symptoms. So C, difficile is considered? A virulent pathogen a hereditary pathogen resident pathogen opportunistic pathogen primary pathogen
