Concept explainers

Viral Infections

Viruses are abundantly found, minute entities that have genetic material enclosed within a protein coat. The proteinaceous material enclosing the genetic material of the virus is called a capsid. The genetic material could be either DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) or RNA (ribonucleic acid). A virus is too minute to be looked at with naked eyes and therefore visualized with the help of a microscope. They are acellular entities that require a host for processes, such as replication, transcription, translation and multiplication. Plants, animals, and bacteria act as host wherein the virus reproduce. Viruses cannot multiply outside the host's body and thus are considered nonliving outside the host body.

Question

100%

Biology of Herpes Virus – what types of structures do they have?
What disease they cause – what is the name of the disease, who do they infect, how do they
infect, what symptoms they cause, and how we treat them? Why should we care about them – are infections on the rise due to something that has changed, is the infection hard to treat with what we have available (antibiotics, vaccines, antiviral drugs), has the microbe mutated to become more dangerous?

. EVOLUTION CONNECTION The success of some viruses lies intheir ability to evolve rapidly within the host. Such viruses evadethe host’s defenses by mutating and producing many alteredprogeny viruses before the body can mount an attack. Thus, theviruses present late in infection differ from those that initiallyinfected the body. Discuss this as an example of evolution inmicrocosm. Which viral lineages tend to predominate?
