Summary Introduction

To describe:

Hepatitis B infections caused by a needlestick during a dental procedure by using the terms given in question, also determine the mode of transmission of the following disease.

Introduction:

Hepatitis B is a disease of liver which is caused by infection of virus. The virus responsible for hepatitis B is HBV (hepatitis B virus) and it belongs to Hepadnaviridae family of viruses.

Summary Introduction

To describe:

Pneumocystis pneumonia in an AIDS patient and also determine the mode of transmission of the following disease.

Introduction:

HIV is human immunodeficiency virus which causes a very serious disease called AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). HIV interferes with the immune cells of the body and reduces the ability to fight infections.

Summary Introduction

To describe:

Bubonic plague that is acquired through the bite of a rat flea, and also determine the mode of transmission.

Introduction:

Bubonic plague is a type of bacterial infection caused by bacterium Yersinia pestis. This plague may have deadly effects. It can be spread from the bite of an infected rodent or flea. The plague is characterized by symptoms like fever, headache, swollen and painful lesions, and vomiting.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome infection acquired while vacationing in a log cabin.

Introduction:

Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is a viral infection which develops its symptoms within a week. It is a fatal, respiratory disease that occurs in human by infection caused by hantaviruses.

Summary Introduction

To describe:

The disease salmonellosis and also determine the mode of transmission.

Introduction:

Salmonellosis is a type of bacterial infection caused by the strain of Salmonella bacterium. This bacterium mainly transmitted to humans through contaminated food or water. The infection results in typhoid fever and sometimes it causes severe deadly disease.

Summary Introduction

To describe:

The undiagnosed chlamydiosis and also determine the mode of transmission of the disease.

Introduction:

Chlamydiosis is a common sexually transmitted disease. It is caused by the bacteria called Chlamydia trachomatis. It can infect both men and women. Chlamydia doesn’t usually cause any symptoms.

Summary Introduction

To describe:

The disease mononucleosis that is transmitted via a shared drinking glass.

Introduction:

Respiratory droplet and saliva is the exit route for several viruses, including those of mumps, rabies, and infectious mononucleosis. Mononucleosis includes a viral disease caused by Epstein-Barr virus.

Summary Introduction

To describe:

The disease neonatal gonorrhea and also determine the mode of transmission of this disease.

Introduction:

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease which causes infection in the reproductive part of females. This infection can also pass to the newborns known as neonatal gonorrhea.

You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
You implant an FGF10-coated bead into the anterior flank of a chicken embryo, directly below the level of the wing bud. What is the phenotype of the resulting ectopic limb?  Briefly describe the expected expression domains of 1) Shh, 2) Tbx4, and 3) Tbx5 in the resulting ectopic limb bud.
