Case study on Zika Virus: Public Health Concern to Workers This case study particularly on the topic I chose - Zika Virus is pandemic that affects everyone from children to adult, and from employers to employees. The overall health and safety issue, is that workers working in areas of active Zika transmission are liable to contract the virus and healthcare workers who may have been exposed to infected blood or other potentially infectious materials from people infected with Zika virus may require extreme

Genital herpes is a sexual transmitted disease that is caused by herpes simplex virus. It is also called HSV and HSV-antivirals. The herpes simplex virus has two type. People usually call the first type by HSV-1, and the second type by HSV-2. (Medline Plus)The genital herpes used to be caused by HSV-2, but the HSV-1 caused more and more genital herpes cases. (Beigi) The symptoms for genital herpes are different depending on the severity of the disease at the beginning stage. For most of the people

emerging infectious disease. Influenza is caused by the influenza virus, which is a negative sense single stranded RNA virus and is a localized infection affecting the respiratory tract. Influenza virus has eight different RNAs in its genome that encode for viral genes. Influenza is prevalent throughout the United States and the world, requiring international surveillance of the virus by the World Health Organization (WHO). The influenza virus infects 5 to 10% of the United States population every year

infection. Virus infects human respiratory system cause fever and muscle ache. Influenza infection kills hundreds of thousand of people around the world each year. There are three major types of influenza viruses--A, B, and C. Type A virus causes the most sickness among humans. Influenza Pandemics is a spread of Influenza A virus on a worldwide scale. Pandemics occur when a new subtype of influenza A, which has never infected humans before, generates. Influenza pandemics are caused by type A virus. Influenza

effects to sever disease. Norovirus is a genus of genetically diverse single-stranded RNA, non-enveloped viruses in the Caliciviridae family. The known viruses in the genus are all considered to be the variant strains of a single species called Norwalk virus. WHAT IS NOROVIRUS? Noroviruses are the most common cause of viral gastroenteritis in humans, and affect people of all ages. Norovirus infection is characterised by nausea, forceful vomiting, watery diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and in some cases, loss

(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 all ages but has severe impact on children under the age of two. Respiratory syncytial virus is a typical childhood disease. Out of the human population, infants are the most susceptible

Name : Hiba Dabbas March 7, 2017 Biology 2296 Section: 002 Instructor: Dr. Denise Wallack Titer of the Bacterial virus, the Measurement of the Recombination and the Reversion Rate, and the Gene Map Distance (Phage Recombination) Objective: The purpose of this experiment was to measure the T4 reversion rate to wild type combination, and the recombination frequency recombination frequency of the T4 mutants

wide range of different types of viruses, from ones that can kill you ,to ones that we don't even know we have, some are contagious , and some are not, and also the dreaded air borne viruses. One virus that is not commonly mentioned is Valley Fever. Due to its high demand of warmer climates, this virus does not make it to a lot of the different regions across North America. Origins: The first case ever reported of valley fever was in the early 1890s, in Argentina. A man by the name of Domingo Ezcurra

caution. A virus has re-emerged and is spreading fast. We first saw a case like this in 1994 where well-known horse trainer, Vic Rail died after 6 days and experienced severe lung inflammation, interstitial pneumonia and respiratory failure (Grant,2013). 14 of his horses also died when it broke out not far from here, in fact Hendra and now it has come back to haunt us with its lethality (Betterhealth.vic.gov.au, 2015).The emergence in humans was unprecedented and shocking. The Hendra Virus and Nipah

an RNA virus who’s genome encodes 5 proteins designated as N, P, M, G, and L. The arrangement of these proteins and the RNA genome determine the structure of the rabies virus. It belongs to the order of mononegavirales which are virus with a non-segmented negative stranded RNA genome. Under the rhabdoviridae family is the lyssavirus genus which rabies virus falls under. Rabies is a zoonotic disease (meaning it can be transmitted between animals and humans). The target host for this virus are all
