To determine:
The symptoms of DNA virus infection.
Introduction:
Herpes, chicken pox, and small pox are caused by the infection of DNA virus. The virus replicates inside the host cell using the enzyme “DNA-dependent-DNA polymerase”. Pox virus, human herpes virus, and adenovirus are the examples of DNA virus.
To determine:
The common source of DNA virus infection in infected girls.
Introduction:
To determine:
The method of prevention for DNA virus outbreak
Introduction:
Poxvirus, human herpes virus, and adenovirus are the examples of DNA virus. The DNA virus can be transmitted through respiratory droplets and contaminated water. Prevention of infection can be done by maintaining hygienic conditions.

- Part A) What barrier was breached by the pathogen? Part B) Describe how that barrier works and how it can prevent mom's pathogens from infecting the fetus. A tiny 1-kg (2.2-pound) female neonate (newborn) was born two months premature. The baby had extreme difficulty breathing and had to be intubated (a breathing tube inserted). The mother, at the time of admission, had complained of mild diarrhea and abnormal abdominal pain unrelated to her pregnancy. The infectious disease doctor who was called in to consult on the case immediately recognized the likely problem and ordered blood cultures be performed on the infant. The infant was also started on intravenous antibiotics. Two days later, the lab reported finding a Gram-positive bacillus-Listeria monocytogenes-in the infant's blood. This same organism was the cause of the mother's diarrhea. The mother had unwittingly ingested some unpasteurized cheese contaminated with this pathogen and developed listeriosis. The organism entered the…arrow_forwardWhat type of virus is the varicella-zoster virus? ( type: DNA/RNA, single or double stranded) ?arrow_forwardB- Corona virus is pandemic infection.

Over the next couple days, however the abscess became more swollen and painful. The student decided to visit the health centet he told the doctor it looked like a spider bite but didn't recall being bitten. The doctor took a swab of the lesion and prescribed an antibiotic cream as it looked infected. The swab was sent to the lab for testing within a few days of treatment, the student lesion was healed. list appearance on plate media and gram stain result and list test results And ID based on the dichotomousarrow_forward
