A two mL stock of Marburg virus (Filamentous, non-segmented, negative strand RNA virusin Filoviridae family) contains 5.6 x 1017 virions (individual viruses)/mL. The sample mustbe diluted serially to the point in which 2.4 x 106 virions exist in every 100 µL of sample foran infection experiment which requires at least 7.2 mL (you will NEED more than 6 mL).Using dilutions of no greater than 1/1000 in volumes no greater than 10 mL and includingone dilution of 1/8.8 show below how you would set up this dilution series. Remember smallvolumes carry inherently larger error.

You want to infect a plate of 2x10^6 HeLa cells with poliovirus at an MOI of 10. Your viral stock is at concentration of 8x10^7 particles/ml. What volume of your viral stock do you need to apply to your cells? Show your working
Notice the white line indicating a reference for 100 nm. Which 3 viruses have a diameter (width) roughly equal to 100 nm?
Shown below is a set of cell culture plates for a plaque assay. The assay was performed by preparing dilutions of a virus stock with the dilution factor for each prepared dilution listed below the sample. 0.5 mls of each dilution was added to confluent (fully covered) monolayers of cells on each plate. The virus used for the assay had a titer of 2 x 1010 Plaque forming units (PFU) per ml. Only 1 set of the above plates would have a number of plaques on it that would be both easy to count and high enough to be statistically relevant. Which dilution set would it be and about how many plaques would there be on the plates of that dilution set.
The diffraction limit describes the limitationof light microscopes to distinguish objects less than 200 microns apart. Most viruses are less than 200 microns in size. (a) Brefly describe one molecular technique and one microscopy technique that could help you identify the specific virus infecting your patient. Be sure to wxplain how the technique works to identify virus particles. (b) Make an argument for which of the techniques would be best to use during clinical diagnosis.
The N-95 mask is considered to be one of the safest masks. It’s pore size is 0.3 um. If that is so, how many covid 19 viral particles (side by side) could fit through one hole at a single time
The volume of E. coli added to each warm agar pour/virus mixture was originally100µL. After pre-testing the experiment, the instructions were modified for you to add 300µL of E. coli. Make an educated guess as to why the volume was increased.
What is the best advise for obtaining 2-log viral inactivation when the needed CT free chlorine is 60 min mg per L, CT chloramine is 11,000 min mg per L, and CT chlorine dioxide is 170 min mg per L? Considering these virus-inactivation approaches (chlorine dioxide, chloramine, and free chlorine).when using CT values to disinfect water assets following a water quality event, what biological elements and physicochemical aspects must be considered? Display the CT curve as well as the effect of increasing pH on inactivation kinetics, and estimate the CT values that will be needed.
In a real study, scientists investigated the effectiveness of seven hand sanitizers. They found that only two products (72% ethanol, pH 2.9) and one triclosan-based product had LRVs≥2. If they had spiked their samples with 104 viruses, what is the maximum number of infectious virus that could have been present
Calculate the viral titer of an experiment performed yielding a pfu of 279 from plating 1.0 ml of the 10-5dilution. Show all work and write the answer in scientific notation.
what are the volume dilution and dilution factor for bacteriophage A，B，C
Average plaques for bacteriophage A，B，C are 137，36，25. PFU/ml is average plaques multiply by the volume dilution multiply by the dilution factor. Show your working for each bacteriophage.
A culture of S. cerevisea has an overnight OD of 4.5 (1.0 OD is approx 1.0x107 cells/ml) You will be plating 100µl onto agar and want the final count of colonies on the plate to be around 300 colonies. How much of the 4.5 OD culture must you use to get a 500µl subdilution (with sterile water), so that you have diluted enough to get approx 300 colonies per 100ul
