- How common is ABV in the USA? In the United States, over half of adults have been infected with ABV by age 40. Once ABV is in a person's body, it stays there for life and can reactivate. Match terms with descriptions based on the text above. You can use an answer more than once or not at all. "Over half of adults have been infected with ABV by age 40." ABV could belong to this group of viruses: A. Human Papilloma Viruses B. Incidence of ABV C. Herpesviruses D. Prevalence of ABV by age 40arrow_forwardWe are confronted with a new RNA virus that uses x-proteins to attach to host cells and primarily infects liver cells.

- A researcher, studying two different animal viruses (A and B) that infect the same cell type, digests away all the protein and transfers the nucleic acid directly into the host cell. Only virus B causes the infection. This suggests: a. Virus A is likely to be a naked virus. b. Virus A is likely to be an enveloped virus. c. Virus A is likely to be a -ssRNA virus. d. Virus A is likely to be a +ssRNA virus. e. Virus A is likely to be a dsDNA virus. And now explain why.arrow_forward1)What was the role of filtration in the discovery of viruses. 2) Imagine a new respiratory virus that spreads via contact, droplet, and airborne transmission and we have no medical measures to stop the infection. Outline public health measures (non-medical interventions that can reduce the spread of a disease) that can be taken to slow down the spread of this virus.arrow_forwardCan Cytomegalovirus (CMV) release any toxicant?

True B. Falsearrow_forwardThink about the cells that viruses infect. Pick out the correct statements below. A. The host cell has some particular thing - be it machinery, chemistry or whatever - that the virus MUST have in order to successfully reproduce. B. Viruse generally don't care what cells they infect. C. Viruses can only replicate in particular hosts and tissues. D. The host range or tissue specficity means the specific type of cells the virus infects.

Immune response of the hostarrow_forwardAnswer the following regarding the varicella-zoster virus: a) the biology of the virus ( type: DNA/RNA type: single or double stranded) b) how it replicates c) life cycle of the virus (binding, fusion, reverse transcription, integration, replication, and assembly)arrow_forwardYou are working in a pathology lab studying the virus Examinaria in mice. You collect the following information about two competing Examinaria strains, Aggressive and Mild: 1. Aggressive always out-competes Mild within a mouse for a payoff of 1. 2. Mild co-exists with Mild in a host for a payoff of 12. 3. Mild always loses to Aggressive for a payoff of 0. 4. Aggressive competing with Aggressive in a host leads to early death of the mouse and a payoff of only 14. Make a payoff matrix to solve this game. Based on the payoff matrix, is there one best Evolutionarily Stable Strategy (ESS) in this game? Yes, Aggressive is the ESS Yes, Mild is the ESS No, Mixed ESSarrow_forward
