Human respiratory syncytial virus

Respiratory syncytial virus, also known as RSV, is most commonly prevalent and severe in children under the age of two years old. However, it can and does effect adults because of it being highly contagious and easy transmit ability. RSV causes infections of the lungs and respiratory tract. Due to the fact that respiratory syncytial virus can cause severe problems for children or adults, caution has to be taken to notice the possible signs and symptoms associated with the virus. Therefore, this paper

social networking, news, corporations, and more. Howard Rheingold’s strategies on Digital Literacy provide many effective tips for better navigating the web. For this assignment, I conducted research on RSV, an illness otherwise known as Respiratory Syncytial Virus. The results were tremendous, as there was an outpour in journal and news articles and even biblical references. Many websites presented similar information, however The American Lung Association, CNBC, and Women and Infants.org were distinctive

Running Head: RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS Respiratory Syncytial Virus Breanna Kennelly Apollo College Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) causes acute respiratory tract infection in patients of all ages and is one of the most popular diseases of childhood. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection, which manifests primarily as bronchiolitis and/or viral pneumonia, is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract (LRT) infection in infants and young children. RSV is the most common cause

disease involving the upper respiratory tract. In 1965, Dr. J.A. Morris and his colleagues were able to recover and isolate the pathogen that caused this outbreak from a captive chimpanzee. (Lambert, 2014) Through their research and study, they found out that Respiratory syncytial virus was causing the infection. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a specific type of virus that is able to cause both upper and lower respiratory tract infections. It is an enveloped RNA virus that can infect people of

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a very common virus that can cause mild cold-like symptoms in adults and older healthy children. It can cause serious respiratory problems in young babies, especially those babies which are born prematurely, who have diseases of the heart or lung, or those individuals who are immunocompromised. In adults, it may only produce symptoms of a common cold, such as a stuffy nose, sore throat, mild headache, cough, fever, etc. As of now, prevention of RSV infection is

Bacteria and viruses often mutate, as the H1N1 influenza virus proves, and new pathogens, like the one leading to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), can appear− infecting unprotected populations. By evaluating the viral sources of infection we can begin to better understand these various respiratory afflictions and develop and implement efficacious prevention policies and programs.

Evan Gaglione Sept 10, 2017 Hygiene Hypothesis Bio 220 The hygiene hypothesis is an educated guess that states a lack of early childhood exposure to infectious agents, microorganisms, bacteria, virus, and parasites increases weakness to allergic infections, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  In particular, the lack of exposure to these infections is thought to lead to defects in the growth of immune tolerance. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), the decreasing

Rhinovirus Inducing Wheezing And Asthma Exacerbation In Children A respiratory viral infection plays a major role in important aspects of asthma and its exacerbation; which is nearly associated for about 80% of overall respiratory condition. Viral pathogen associated with wheezing includes Human Rhinovirus (HRV), Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), Parainfluenza, and coronavirus (Busse & Lemanske. 2010). Rhinovirus is associated with common colds that may cause sore throat, sinus infection, ear infection

an acute viral respiratory illness that impact the health of many individuals, families, and communities. Influenza viruses belong to the Orthomyxoviridae family and are enveloped, segmented, single-strand RNA viruses. They can be divided into three types, A, B, C and are varied by viral RNA segments. Types A and B are common and are more likely to cause severe symptoms and epidemics. Seasonal influenza results from circulating influenza A and B viruses. Influenza viruses enter human hosts through

In the human body, there are commensal bacteria serving as part of the normal flora. Various viruses can interact with these bacteria in order promote their infectivity. Poliovirus can bind with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for stabilization to prevent premature RNA release and improve cell attachment to host cell through the poliovirus receptor. For retroviruses, specifically MMTV (mouse mammary tumor virus), binding to LPS improve their chances of successful transmission. MMTV-bound LPS get
