Varicella Zoster Virus Research Paper
Viral biology is one of the most important areas of biology as it looks at the microbiology of diseases and viruses. Without virology we would not have vaccines to inhibit the growth of disease within human hosts.
Zakkkkkkkk4yuhrViruses are microscopic nonliving repositories of nucleic acid that grow within the presence of living Prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells. Viruses contain infectious agents that consist of core genetic material either deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or Ribonucleic acid (RNA). This core genetic material is what replicates within a Prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell host. Viruses can be transmitted through sneezing, coughing, direct contact or sexual viruses will be transmitted through bodily fluids during sexual intercourse. …show more content…
Chicken pox is caused by the Varicella zoster virus and is an airborne infection that is commonly accompanied but the Varicella rash. The Varicella Zoster virus enters ‘through the respiratory tract and conjunctiva’ (Varicella, Dr Cindy Weinbaum) where replication of the viruses starts to take place within 24 – 48hours of being in contact with a primary host. Varicella (Chicken pox) is seen throughout the world as it is a common virus, which is generally passed through primary and middle …show more content…
The Lipid Envelop is the outside structure of the VZV particle and contains glycoprotein spikes that enable to virus to identify and fuss with its targeted cells, within the host. The VZV particle has a natural cover called Tegument; this substance contains the virus, proteins and enzymes which are used by the virus to replicate the particle.
The VZV particle has one more layer; this layer contains and protects the DNA which the particle carries into the nucleus of infected host cells. This layer is the Nucleocapsid. All viruses have a genetic material called Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or Ribonucleic acid (RNA) this genetic material contains proteins that are necessary for the replication of the virus. The VZV particle has a none complex structure allowing it to bind onto the Heparin Sulphate Proteoglycan (See figure 1.1) of the cell wall and quickly attack the host’s
