Susceptibility/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.

Efforts to produce an HIV vaccine have met with limited success. What aspects of the virus and its replicative strategy make it difficult to produce a vaccine against HIV? What other kind of virus might be similarly different to vaccinate against? What similarities and differences exist between the two types of virus that account for the differences in vaccine production?
People infected with SARS-Cov-2(the cornavirus that causes covid-19) can show an array of different symptoms and comlications. One complication occurs in the same patients is the development of blood clots throughout the body. Thevirus can infect endothelial cells. How are endothelia involved with blood clotting? If you were to design a pharmaceutical (medication) taht reduced blood clotting, how might it work? There are many ways to approach this question. Please mention at least one SPECIFIC REACTION in your explanation.

1) 286 individuals were newly diagnosed with Human Immunodeficiency Virus in 2018 in Minnesota. Of these individuals, 76% were male. HIV is an enveloped, ssRNA virus_ Baltimore classification VI. This virus targets CD4+ cells. CD4 refers to a glycoprotein which serves as a co-receptor for T-cells, located on T-helper and T-reg immune cells. a) What part of the HIV virus allows for specificity to CD4+ cells?
Yearly vaccination is the primary means of preventing and controlling flu outbreaks. Here 'yearly' is important because: New vaccines with better efficacy are produced each year Circulating strains of influenza viruses change from year to year New vaccines with up-to-date strain components are produced each year Who is at higher risk of developing severe pneumonia when infected with SARS-CoV-2? An undergraduate A student at high-school A 6-month-old baby A 70 years old man with diabetes and high blood pressure

Will things immediately go back to the way they were before? What is the Delta variant and how is it impeding on getting things back to "normal"?
Which of the following is NOT true about Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the disease it causes? 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 conditions
