If the virus becomes active again‚ it can cause a painful viral infection called shingles. *Symptoms: - Early symptoms (often preceding the rash symptoms): Aching - Tiredness - Headache - Fever - Sore throat - Malaise. - Rash symptoms: Itchy skin rash - Blister-like rash Itchy blisters - Scalp & Mouth & Throat & Genital blisters. *Causes: Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus.

Virusoids are single-stranded‚ circular RNA molecules‚ like viroids‚ but they require a helper virus to infect. In the case of hepatitis D‚ the virusoid requires the protein coat of hepatitis B for

infection that is occasionally triggered by the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) that can leave a feeling of a tiredness‚ fever‚ and sore throat that can last for days‚ weeks or possibly months. It is known to be one of the world’s greatest common infections. Another virus that may create a similar mono virus is called Cytomegalovirus (CMV). Mono can spread from the saliva which is why it is frequently referred to as the “kissing disease”. This virus is found most commonly in youth and young adults‚ but anyone

Rabies is a virus that spreads easily. Rabies causes the brain to expand and inflame in humans and mammals. The virus affects the nervous systems of the brain and spinal cord of mammals(Medbroadcast‚2017). The inflammation in the brain causes the brain to function differently(MedBroadcast‚2017). Rhabdovirus‚ single stranded RNA viruses‚ is the causative agent for rabies. The rabies virus is enveloped‚ it is covered/surrounded by a covering for protection. The rhabdovirus contains up of a helical

Generally‚ a virus attaches to a specific target cell‚ fusing its envelope with the cell’s membrane and injecting its DNA into the nucleus of the host cell. Once inside the cell‚ this viral DNA replicates itself and also uses the existing machinery within the ‘infected’ cell to make more viral proteins. It then assembles itself and will leave the cell to spread to other cells. The anti-viral acyclovir is taken into the body orally. The acyclovir molecules entering the ‘infected’ cell are converted

The ape then grew physically and in intelligence as time passed by and became more and more sensitive to his surroundings and feelings. One day‚ when he saw the father of the scientist
