Referred to as infectious viral encephalitides‚ encephalitis may occur also as a complication of systemic viral diseases such as poliomyelitis‚ rabies‚ or mononucleosis‚ or it may arise after recovery from viral infections such as rubella or rubeola.

Specific proteins on the viral capsid attach to receptors on the host cell; this attachment process is essential to viral infectivity and explains why viruses may only infect the cells of certain species or may only infect certain cells or tissues within a given host species. While the infecting virus triggers an immune response in the

plants or animals. B: Viruses: A virus is a small infectious agent‚ too small to be seen by the naked eye. They can’t multiply on their own‚ only inside the cells of other organisms. Viruses consist of genetic material ( DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protective coat of protein. They are capable of latching onto cells and getting inside them. The cells of the mucous membranes‚ such as those lining the respiratory passages that we breathe through‚ are particularly open to virus attacks because they are not

Infectious Mononucleosis and Community Health Nursing Infectious mononucleosis (IM)‚ or "mono‚" is a communicable disease that is most commonly caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). EBV is one of the most common human viruses found all over the world‚ and most people will become infected with it at some point in their lives (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC]‚ 2014a). However‚ not all people infected with EBV will develop IM. By understanding the epidemiologic triangle of IM and

In my report‚ I will answer many basic questions concerning one of the fastest killing viruses‚ the Ebola virus. Questions such as "How does it infect its victims?"‚ "How are Ebola victims treated?"‚ "How are Ebola outbreaks controlled?" and many others related to this deadly virus.

What is the Zika virus? The Zika virus comes from a daytime active Aedes mosquitoes. This virus was first identified in Uganda in 1947‚ first found in monkeys then later on found in humans in 1952. Zika had its first outbreak on an island in Yap in 2007‚ as of now we know that many countries are experiencing these same outbreaks. It’s found in mostly tropical climates which is why you can find it in Rio. This summer the olympics were held in Rio‚many of the Athletes didn’t travel and compete because

Measles Virus In the 1800’s the measles was a very dangerous disease‚ and when people who come in contact with it will die‚ if they have never been exposed to the virus before. The measles is transmitted through the air. The way that the virus is transmitted is that infected droplets are released by coughing‚ sneezing‚ and by talking. When the infected droplets that contain the measles are in the air‚ they are taken into the body through the mouth‚ nose and eyes of the potential person that
