The emergence of new cases of polio linked to the oral vaccine had been reported in a number of African and Asian countries, revealing that there are now more children being paralyzed by viruses originating in vaccines than in the wild. Viral contamination of a biological may arise from many factors, from handling to the origin of the materials used in the cell culture. a What could be the reason for the outbreak in those countries? D) The method of producing attenuated “live" vaccines involve passing the disease- tausing virus through a series of cell cultures or animal embryos (typically chick embryos). Explain the procedure in details and cite the reason why the method involve passing a virus through a non-human host?
Describe an experiment in which you demonstrate that the pUL44 protein of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) localizes with phospho-H2AX (yH2AX). What reagent can be used to denote the cellular location of H2AX? Be sure to carefully describe your controls, as well as the expected results. What other technique can be used to validate the findings in this experiment? Explain.
How does the germ theory apply to the COVID-19 pandemic? What do you think would have happened if we have no knowledge of the existence of microorganisms? Explain.
With some level of toxic shock syndrome caused by the superantigen produced by Staphylococcus aureus, why the antibiotics are not effective after a certain point, even though the pathogen is susceptible to them?
Penicillin was first used in the 1940s to treat gonorrhea infections produced by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. In 1984, according to the CDC, fewer than 1% of gonorrhea infections were caused by penicillin-resistant N. gonorrhoeae. By 1990, more than 10% of cases were penicillin resistant and a few years later the level of resistance was 95%. Explain the various ways this resistance could be spread among the cells. Could this resistance pass to other infectious bacteria from N. gonorrhoeae?
a recent communicable disease outbreak, except COVID-19. For the selected communicable disease outbreak, the following MUST be clearly identified: a) a description of yellow fever b) who was affected c) location of the outbreak d) the When (time) e) Why the outbreak occurred (fully described what was the cause). f) Provide relevant data and appropriate references.
52. During the development of a new vaccine, an investigator generates a mutant strain of bacteria that does not adhere to mucosal epithelia, Mutations in which of the following bacterial components or structures would most likely prevent bacterial adhesion? htba OA) Capsules OB) Flagella OC) Lipopolysaccharide OD) Lipoteichoic acid OE) Pili OF) Porins OG) Siderophores OH) Spores in 1thou (moon) Pili
Moderna and Pfizer vaccines for COVID-19 use mRNA to the Spike protein combined with lipids. Which of the following is/are advantages of this type of vaccine compared to an inactivated virus vaccine? Select ALL correct answers. a) The vaccine is more stable for transport. b) The vaccine does not contain the virus so it cannot give you COVID-19. c) The vaccine can be rapidly produced in a slightly different form to protect from variants of SARS-CoV-2. d) The vaccine does not need a booster.

During the development process of a vaccine for the newly discovered Sars-COV-2 (COVID- 19) virus, pharmaceutical companies developed two potential vaccine candidates, BNT162b2 and Ad26.COV2. Some researchers postulated that BNT162b2 will be more ef- fective than Ad26.COV2 because only BNT162b2 directly targets the protein-manufactur- ing mechanisms in the cell. To test this claim, researchers proposed an experiment in which data will be collected about the efficacy of the two vaccine candidates. In the proposed study, two groups of mice will be randomly assigned one of the vaccine candidates and then infected with the virus. Data about the severity of symptoms in each group will then be collected. Which of the following describes a potential method for measuring the dependent variable in this experimental design? A B с D measure the amount of virus administered to each group measure the time between vaccine administration and virus infection in each group measure the amount of vaccine…
