An Effective "Virus" Are you addicted to shopping? According to John de Graaf‚ David Wann‚ and Thomas Naylor‚ just about everyone is. In the article‚ "The Addictive Virus"‚ the three writers succeed in supporting their claim that Americans are buying too much "stuff" and for the "wrong reasons". The article uses a casual tone and easy language to create an effect that is light and somewhat humorous at times. Along with its mainly easy-to-read content‚ the article keeps its integrity by including

The function of a capsid‚ in virus biology‚ is to serve as a protective outer layer that protects the genetic material of the virus from the host’s defensive cells. The capsid is made up of proteins. The nucleic acid is what is contained within the capsid‚ which is a group of long‚ linear macromolecules‚ consisting of either DNA or RNA. There are two different cycles in which the virus uses a host cell to replicate and reproduce itself. These two cycles are known as the lytic cycle‚ and the lysogenic

With more than one-third of the world’s population living in areas at risk for infection‚ dengue virus is a leading cause of illness and death in the tropics and subtropics. As many as 400 million people are infected yearly. Dengue is caused by any one of four related viruses transmitted by mosquitoes. There are not yet any vaccines to prevent infection with dengue virus and the most effective protective measures are those that avoid mosquito bites. When infected‚ early recognition and prompt supportive

The Ebola Virus History of‚ Occurrences‚ and Effects of Ebola‚ a virus which acquires its name from the Ebola River (located in Zaire‚ Africa)‚ first emerged in September 1976‚ when it erupted simultaneously in 55 villages near the headwaters of the river.

The Ebola Virus A virus is an ultramicroscopic infectious organism that‚ having no independent metabolic activity‚ can replicate only within a cell of another host organism. A virus consists of a core of nucleic acid‚ either RNA or DNA‚ surrounded by a coating of antigenic protein and sometimes a lipid layer surrounds it as well. The virus provides the genetic code for replication‚ and the host cell provides the necessary energy and raw materials. There are more than 200 viruses that

Virus and Bacteria Virus - A virus is a capsule of protein that contains genetic material. A virus cannot reproduce on its own; it must infect a living cell to grow. Bacteria - Bacteria are one-celled organisms that live on their own. They can multiply and reproduce by subdivision Bacteria and viruses cause many of the diseases we are familiar with and may sound synonymous; they are greatly different from each other. [pic] o They differ greatly in size. The biggest viruses are only as large
