This number is stated to be of partial data and to be used as a starting point for further calculations. The number given is arrived at by totalling the cell numbers of all the organs

The interventions that can be used to treat and contain the outbreak of an infectious disease are: genetics‚ pharmacology‚ diagnostics‚ immunology‚ and medical devices. In order to figure out what the disease is‚ scientists must identify the source through genetics‚ diagnostics. In order to do this‚ certain medical devices are used‚ such as a PCR. Then when found physicians can use pharmacology

Influenza virus is one of the well-explored the pathogens and development of flu vaccine is considered as the most efficient strategy to defense the outbreak. However‚ the variability of the antigen and rapid reassortant of the genetic segments weakens flu vaccine effectiveness. And the protection of flu vaccine could not contribute to clinical treatment when the patients suffer from severe illness. Therefore‚ the study of the interaction between pathogen and host immune response is needed. The Hannover
