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

Period 7 Are Viruses Alive? For many years there have been numerous controversies over whether a virus should be classified as living or nonliving. It is believed that viruses are considered nonliving because they lack a substantial amount of qualities to be classified a form of life and they are incapable of carrying out all life processes. For example‚ some characteristics that would justify a virus being nonliving would be that they are acellular: they are not made up of cells nor do they contain

RABIES Abstract: Each year‚ approximately 55‚000 individuals worldwide die from an infection due to the rabies virus. Rabies is a life-threatening disease caused by an RNA virus that is usually transmitted to humans through bites from rabid animals. More recently‚ reports of transmission by means of organ transplantation have been reported. Since human rabies is nearly 100% fatal if prophylactic measures are not followed‚ an increased awareness of who should receive prophylaxis and
