Title: Virus Module: Biochemical Processes______ All viruses are pathogens. Some viruses are deadly‚ for example‚ HIV and Ebola virus. Unlike bacteria‚ fungi and protists‚ viruses do not fit into the framework of cellular organization that is the hallmark of organisms. Bacteria‚ fungi and protists are cells but not virus. Viruses have unique structural and functional properties and cannot reproduce unless they are inside the cell. In fact‚ they can neither generate energy nor make proteins

Viruses: A virus is a small infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of other organisms. A virus is a small parasite that cannot reproduce by itself. Once it infects a susceptible cell‚ however‚ a virus can direct the cell to produce many more viruses. Viruses can infect all types of life forms‚ such as animals and plants to microorganisms‚ including bacteria and archaea.

One of the most life-threatening and highly contagious viruses in cats is Feline Pan Leukopenia Virus. It is also known as feline distemper. The virus affects red blood cells‚ mostly those in the intestinal tract‚ bone marrow‚ and the stem cells of developing fetuses. The attacks on the blood cells can lead to the development of anemia and lowering of the immune system. The virus can survive for years in contaminated environments‚ making it incredibly difficult to get rid of. Kittens between the

Bit of Archeology There are lots and lots of opinions on the date of birth of the first computer virus. I know for sure just that there were no viruses on the Babbidge machine‚ but the Univac 1108 and IBM 360/370 already had them ("Pervading Animal" and "Christmas tree"). Therefore the first virus was born in the very beginning of 1970s or even in the end of 1960s‚ although nobody was calling it a virus then. And with that consider the topic of the extinct fossil species closed. Journey’s Start
