- In December 2020, Jean, a 30 year-old man, went to a concert in his town where more than 3 thousand people attended. Only 30% of the people in the concert were wearing mask, and there was not enough space to keep social distance. After 6 days, Jean started to develop fever and he lost the sense of smell and taste. Eight days after the party, he began to have difficulty breathing and was diagnosed with COVID-19. Let’s try to write the whole story about how the SARS-CoV2 invaded Jean’s body. SARS-CoV2 viral particles entered Jean’s nasal cavity and attached to the respiratory mucous membranes. Some mucosal barriers prevent part of the viral particles to penetrate the respiratory epithelium. Which are these barriers and how do they act? 2) Which cells are recruited from the bloodstream to the connective tissue (under the respiratory epithelium) to phagocyte the viral particles? Explain the recruitment mechanism. After a few days of the infection, Jean’s adaptive immune…arrow_forwardIn December 2020, Jean, a 30 year-old man, went to a concert in his town where more than 3 thousand people attended.

After a few days of the infection, Jean’s adaptive immune system is ready to attack the remaining viral particles that were not efficiently destroyed by the innate immunity army. 3) Explain one mechanism of antibody action against viruses.arrow_forwardBreast fed babies are more immune to diseases than the bottle fed babies.

- Can Ebola survive a hot tubarrow_forwardMelissa is a 15-year-old high school student. Over the last week, she had been feeling tired and found it difficult to stay awake in class. By the time the weekend had arrived, she developed a sore throat that made it difficult to eat and even drink. Melissa was too tired to get out of bed, and she said her head ached. On Monday morning, her mother took her to her doctor. Upon completing the physical exam, he told Melissa the lymph nodes were enlarged in her neck and she had a fever. He ordered blood tests and told Melissa he thought she had mononucleosis, a viral infection requiring much bed rest. Innate and adaptive immune defenses work collectively in destroying invasive microorganisms.
