Transmission electron micrograph of the Sin Nombre virus, the virus responsible for the outbreak. The spherical particles are virus bodies (virions). The 1993 Four Corners hantavirus outbreak was an outbreak of hantavirus disease that occurred in the Four Corners region of the US states in Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico.
Due to the closures, reductions in revenues for cultural organisations reliant on ticket sales were expected to cause devastating effects on organisational staffing, and on independent artists and professionals, partly due to the fact that the arts and culture is an economic sector characterised by a particularly high proportion of self ...
Kuru is a rare, incurable, and fatal neurodegenerative disorder that was formerly common among the Fore people of Papua New Guinea.Kuru is a form of prion disease which leads to tremors and loss of coordination from neurodegeneration.
A respiratory virus that sometimes paralyzes children is spreading across the U.S., raising concerns about another possible rise in polio-like illnesses.. Wastewater samples have detected a ...
Simian foamy virus (SFV), historically Human foamy virus (HFV), is a species of the genus Spumavirus that belongs to the family of Retroviridae.It has been identified in a wide variety of primates, including prosimians, New World and Old World monkeys, as well as apes, and each species has been shown to harbor a unique (species-specific) strain of SFV, including African green monkeys, baboons ...
The condensed central core of the virion appears as a dark region under the electron microscope. The large genome of the virus resides within this area. An internal lipid layer surrounding the central core is present in all other NCLDV viruses, so this features may also be present in mimivirus. [12]
Norovirus is also nicknamed “the cruise ship virus,” as it easily spreads among people in close quarters. Norovirus causes up to 21 million illnesses in the U.S. every year.
Viruses must first get into the cell before viral replication can occur. Through the generation of abundant copies of its genome and packaging these copies, the virus continues infecting new hosts. Replication between viruses is greatly varied and depends on the type of genes involved in them.
