Summary Introduction
To write:
Whether an infant gets affected by zika infection.
Introduction:
In 1947, the first zika virus was identified in the East African forest of Uganda. The Aedes species of mosquito hosts the zika virus. Symptoms of zika infections are mild fever, joint pain, pink eye, and rash. The definite incubation period of this virus is not known but is assumed to be 2 weeks, and within it, certain mild symptoms are shown, such as rashes, joint pain, and headache. When this virus is in incubation period, it may not be detected by a blood test, therefore symptoms should not be neglected, and one must take proper care.

- At a recent trip to the drug store, your pharmacist informs you that the flu vaccines are in. You fear the risk of getting the flu because you've had it before and it wasn't a pleasant experience. You proceed to get the vaccinated for the flu. Which of the following statements regarding your recent vaccination is true? O The vaccine you received protects you from every strain of the flu. O The vaccine you received protects you from the strain of bacteria which scientists believe will be common in the upcoming "flu season". O The vaccine you received protects you from the virus which scientists believe will be common in the upcoming "flu season". O The vaccine won't be effective because you've had the flu in the past and are immune to it.arrow_forwardRead the following study, construct the appropriate 2x2 table for evaluating a screening test, and calculate the listed statistics. Be sure to show your work. A new screening tool is being tested in European airports detect travelers who are suffering from a febrile rash illness in order to prevent passengers with measles from crossing into a different country. Three thousand (3,000) individuals were screened using this tool. All 3,000 individuals were also tested for measles using a laboratory test. There were 300 people who were positive using the screening test. There were 210 people who were positive for measles using the laboratory test. Among those with a positive laboratory test for measles, 20 tested negative with the screening tool (false negatives). 2x2 table + - Total + A B A+B - C D C+D Total A+C B+D A+B+C+D List the values for each cell: A, B, C, D, A+B, C+D, A+C, B+D, A+B+C+D Calculate the sensitivity of the test.…arrow_forwardAnti-U antibodies can be produced by which of the following genotypes?

- 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. Please be sure to mention: The factor you explored The disease(s) implicated How the factor affects susceptibility to disease (i.e., mechanism)arrow_forwardYou metioned different types of test that doctors preform to diagnois the disease. my question is, is there a specific test that is picked over the others or are each test used during different circumstances?arrow_forwardTrue or False: In complement fixation, a positive test result means that the red blood cells used in the test are destroyedarrow_forward
- Why was variolation abolished in favor of vaccination? Variolation had high infectious (10%) and death rates (up to 3%). Vaccination was much safer and people did not get smallpox from it. Variolation had high infectious (50%) and death rates (up to 3%). Vaccination was much safer and people did not get smallpox from it. Preparing the material for variolation was an incredibly difficult process. Variolation had high infectious (10%) and death rates (up to 30%). Vaccination was much safer and people did not get smallpox from it.arrow_forwardTuberclosis is a chronic respiratory condition caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a highly contagious bacterium. People with tuberculosis will often have a persistent (sometimes bloody) cough, fatigue, weight loss, and fever. M. tuberculosis produces a protein we will call "X."
