Zika fever (also known as Zika virus disease) is an illness caused by Zika virus. [79] Around 80% of cases are estimated to be asymptomatic, though the accuracy of this figure is hindered by the wide variance in data quality, and figures from different outbreaks can vary significantly. [ 80 ]
Viral pathogenesis is the study of the process and mechanisms by which viruses cause diseases in their target hosts, often at the cellular or molecular level. It is a specialized field of study in virology. [1] Pathogenesis is a qualitative description of the process by which an initial infection causes disease. [2]
Zika fever, also known as Zika virus disease or simply Zika, is an infectious disease caused by the Zika virus. [1] Most cases have no symptoms, but when present they are usually mild and can resemble dengue fever .
SSHHPS is an acronym for short stretches of homologous host pathogen sequences.The acronym was first coined by Legler in a 2019 publication. [1] Legler used BLAST to search for host protein substrates for the nsP2 protease of the Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) and the protease from Zika virus.
Coronavirus diseases are caused by viruses in the coronavirus subfamily, a group of related RNA viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans and birds, the group of viruses cause respiratory tract infections that can range from mild to lethal.
The world’s first known coronavirus pandemic occurred in 2002, when SARS-CoV-1 was reported in China. It spread to more than two dozen countries in North and South America and Europe before ...
These receptors promote virus-antibody internalization by the immune cells, which should be followed by the virus destruction. However, the virus might escape the antibody complex and start its replication cycle inside the immune cell, avoiding the degradation. [5] [25] This happens if the virus is bound to a low-affinity antibody.
Coronaviruses also affect other branches of animal husbandry such as pig farming and cattle raising. [127] Swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV), which is related to bat coronavirus HKU2, causes diarrhea in pigs. [134] Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a coronavirus that has recently emerged and similarly causes diarrhea ...
