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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

- Molecular Biology Question A gene that codes for a protein was removed from a eukaryotic cell and inserted into a prokaryotic cell. Although the gene was successfully transcribed and translated, it produced a different protein than it produced in the eukaryotic cell. What is the most likely explanation?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology LIST three characteristics of origins of replicationarrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question Please help. Thank you For E coli DNA polymerase III, give the structure and function of the b-clamp sub-complex. Describe how the structure of this sub-complex is important for it’s function.arrow_forward
