Genital Herpes Facts The Sexually Transmitted Disease Genital herpes (to creep) is very common in most Americans especially adolescents. Genital herpes is transmitted through sexual contact and other physical contact with an infected person. Herpes is a viral infection caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus. Once a person is infected with the virus it stays in their body for life. Once you have contracted this virus it is easy to pass it on to someone else even if

The disease I have chosen to explore is viral encephalitis. Encephalitis refers to brain inflammation (PDR, 2014, Diagnosis), which is rare but can be extremely dangerous (Mayo, 2014, Basics; University of Maryland, 2013, Introduction). Severe cases of encephalitis can lead to permanent damage and death (Mayo, 2014, Complications). Encephalitis can also be caused by bacteria and fungi, or develop as a result of a non-infectious cause, but encephalitis is usually caused by a virus (Mayo, 2014, Causes;

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

Shingles is a viral infection, caused by the Varicella-Zoster virus. This is the same virus that affects you when you have chicken pox. Varicella-Zoster is not the same virus that causes cold sores or genital herpes, this would be the HSV1, or HSV2 (herpes simplex virus.) HSV1 is associated with cold sores, HSV2 is associated with genital herpes. However, once you have had chicken pox, the virus lays dormant, so later in life the virus can become active. Activated later in life the virus becomes

Herpes Virus The herpes family of viruses includes 8 different viruses that affect human beings. The viruses are known by numbers as human herpes virus 1 through 8 (HHV1 - HHV8). Human herpes virus 1 Human herpes virus 1 (HHV1) is also known as herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1). It is typically the cause of cold sores around the mouth. HHV1 can also lead to infection in the genital area causing genital herpes usually through oral-genital contact, such as during oral sex. HHV1 infections are contagious

Introduction The herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a viral infection, which is responsible for causing herpes. Herpes occurs on various body parts including the mouth and the genitals. The herpes simplex virus has two strains, which include the HSV type 1 and HSV type 2. HSV 1 is responsible cold sores in most cases but it can also cause genital infections while HSV 2 is responsible for genital herpes but it can also cause infections on areas around the mouth (Kolb, Larsen, Cuellar & Brandt, 2015).

Feline Herpes Virus 1 is a highly contagious virus among cats, also known as Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis. It is one of the most common causes of upper respiratory infections and colds in cats. All cats are prone to the virus, but kittens and cats with a weakened immune system are at a higher risk of contracting it. The virus is most commonly contracted through cat-to-cat transmission, such as a cat coming into contact with an infected cat’s eye, mouth or nose discharge, sharing litter boxes, sharing

Herpes Simplex Virus 1 is an infectious virus commonly referred to as "Cold Sores." As a virus it has to replicate inside one of its hosts cells because it is not a living thing and thereby, it cannot live on its own. Once one is infected with HSV 1 it stays with them for life. Symptoms: Patients may display small, painful blisters filled with fluid around the lips or edge of the mouth. There may also be a tingling or burning sensation around the mouth or nose, often this will occur a few days

You may be thinking, well it’s no other than the Boreal Forest. The Boreal forest has a ton of animals actually it has millions of species. Knowing that viruses spread fairly easy. A common virus in the White tailed deer and many others is Herpesviridae or Herpes. The Herpes infection type

Equine herpesvirus, are DNA virus with linear double-stranded belongs to Herpesviridae family. The two most common types with major importance are Equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1), which can induce abortion, respiratory disease and neurologic disease; and Equine herpesvirus type 4 (EHV-4), which causes only respiratory disease but also occasionally causes abortion. EHV-1 and EHV-4 members of varicellovirus genus in Alphaherpesvirinae subfamily and are endemic in equine populations worldwide [1-3]
