Summary Introduction
To determine:
The names of viral diseases from the given list: cholera, rabies, plague, cold sores, whooping cough, tetanus, genital warts, gonorrhoea, mumps, Rocky mountain spotted fever, rubella, rat bite fever.
Introduction:
Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that invade and infect other organisms. They take over the genetic and cellular machinery of the host cell to complete their multiplication cycles, thereby killing the cell. Thus, viruses cause many diseases in humans.
