- Compare Ebola Virus to SARS-CoV2 with respect to the following parameters: Virus interactions with host innate immune system Virus interactions with host adaptive immune system Pathophysiological effects of viral infectionarrow_forwardExplanation pleasearrow_forwardPlease help me with this question. More than one answer may be correct. The graph relating to the information is included below. The above graph is looking at the relative entry of SARS-CoV2 isolated spike proteins into human cells in culture at two times points: before introduction of the virus to the cell culture (0 minute) and 5 minutes after introduction of the virus to the cell culture. CHC stands for "clathrin heavy chain" and siRNA stands for small interfering RNA, which is often used in experiments as an easy method to stop expression of a certain gene. So in this case, the CHC siRNA would stop cellular production of CHC. The control siRNA introduces a small RNA fragment that does not match any gene as a negative control. Imagine that the experiment was then allowed to run for 500 minutes in addition to five minutes? How would the relative uptake of the spike protein into the control siRNA cells compare after 500 min to the 5 minute treatment? Options: 500 min time point would…arrow_forward
- From: "Towards a universal flu vaccine" Researchers are trying to create a universal influenza vaccine - one that can confer immunity to all, or nearly all, strains of influenza virus. The universal vaccine will target a stable antigen that is present on all influenza viruses that does not readily mutate to different forms. The target researchers are focusing on as a universal stable antigen is on the... The H spike head.

During Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), a person is the most highly infectious for others during the period of peak viral load and symptoms Some people who become infected with SARS-CoV-2 will not develop signs and/or symptoms of disease Emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants may sometimes be more transmissible than previous strains As it is transmitted through the global human population, the virus is highly genetically stable and does not change The severity of disease varies greatly, depending on age and/or underlying predisposing conditionsarrow_forwardSusceptibility/Predisposition to Infectious Disease Why is it that some people always seem to get the flu and others don't? Why are some individuals more susceptible to SARS CoV-2? 1) links between human genetic variation and susceptibility to a specific infectious disease (e.g., Neanderthal DNA and Covid), 2) link between aging and a specific infectious disease 3) links between stress, nutrition, or exercise and a specific infectious disease. Please be sure to mention: The factor you explored The disease(s) implicated How the factor affects susceptibility to disease (i.e., mechanism)arrow_forward

How frequently do you think a coronavirus vaccine may need to be administered?arrow_forwardDrug-resistant TB can be acquired via sequential mutations in the pathogen’s genome, or via transmission of a resistant pathogen from another person. How can these events be distinguished? Why is it important to know which is more prevalent?arrow_forwarda. Name two different defective viruses that require another virus forfunction.b.

- Compare and contrast the genetic material of SARS-COV-2 and Influenza Type A Virus.arrow_forwardIn details, compare the life cycles of influenza virus and measles virus (4-5 points of contrasting). Thank you!arrow_forwardIdentify all correct statements below re. the D614G mutant of SARS-CoV-2: The D614G mutant SARS-CoV-2 has markedly higher binding affinity for the ACE2 receptors than the original virus. The D614G mutant of SARS-CoV-2 transmits more efficiently in human populations than the original virus. The D614G mutant of SARS-CoV-2 replicates to higher titer than the original virus in cell lines and in human primary lung cell culture. When the original and the D614G mutant of SARS-CoV-2 are mixed to co-infect a group of a single-species of animals that is susceptible to infection, the original virus outperforms the D614G mutant. When the original and the D614G mutant of SARS-CoV-2 are mixed to co-infect a group of a single-species of animals that is susceptible to infection, the original virus underperforms the D614G mutant.arrow_forward
