Vampire viruses prey on other viruses to replicate themselves. These particular viruses are caused when a bacteriophage latches onto a soil-based virus’s neck and uses its “life” to survive ...
Vampire facials, formally known as platelet-rich plasma microneedling facials, are cosmetic procedures intended to rejuvenate one’s skin, making it more youthful-looking and reducing acne scars ...
From Botox to “vampire facials,” “tweakments” and the med spas offering them are everywhere you look. The number of these types of minimally invasive cosmetic procedures surged by upward ...
Vampirovibrio chlorellavorus is a 0.6 μm pleomorphic coccus with a gram negative cell wall, [1] and is one of the few known predatory bacteria. [2] Unlike many bacteria, V. chlorellavorus is an obligate parasite, attaching to the cell wall of green algae of the genus Chlorella. [3]
During this phase, the virus cannot be easily detected within the host, and vaccination may still confer cell-mediated immunity to prevent symptomatic rabies. When the virus reaches the brain, it rapidly causes encephalitis, the prodromal phase, which is the beginning of the symptoms. Once the patient becomes symptomatic, treatment is almost ...
The SHIVA virus, or at least SHIVA I, is hinted to be an airborne virus with a quick infection exposure time, and therefore has qualities much like a modern chemical weapon. Overall the SHIVA virus appears as seven distinct forms, with naming conventions of SHIVA I through SHIVA VII, with the seventh version being mostly non-lethal.
No HHV-7 infection-specific treatment exists. [9] While HHV-7 may not be linked to any specific diseases, some researchers emphasize that the virus is still clinically relevant as it causes significant complications in immunocompromised patients. Specific treatment options for HHV-6, 7, and 8 are currently in the early stages of development.
Dracunculiasis, also called Guinea-worm disease, is a parasitic infection by the Guinea worm, Dracunculus medinensis.A person becomes infected by drinking water contaminated with Guinea-worm larvae that reside inside copepods (a type of small crustacean).
