- Why is transmission of cytomegalovirus (CMV) through blood components not a significant risk to most recipients? Question 10 options: a) Most recipients are CMV-positive. b) Most recipients are CMV-negative. c) The CMV cannot tolerate cold storage temperatures. d) None of the above.arrow_forwardWhich link in the chain of infection is the intervention described below meant to break? "N95 respirators reduce the wearer's exposure to airborne particles, from small particle aerosols to large droplets. N95 respirators are tight-fitting respirators that filter out at least 95% of particles in the air, including large and small particles."

- Which of the following virulence factors among A-D is correctly matched with its definition or characterization? A) O Invasins: pathogen proteins that prevent opsonization of the pathogen B) O Phase variation: allows pathogen to switch between different forms of an extracellular antigen (e.g., flagellum) C) O Protein A. a microbial factor that allows for attachment, typically a surface protein or surface glycoprotein D) O Prevention of lysosome:phagosome fusion mechanism employed by an extracellular pathogen E) OM protein, Opa protein: enzymes that interfere with the functioning of antibodiesarrow_forwardVaccines typically contain particles that are pieces of the virus or bacteria they target. How do you think this helps you avoid getting sick in the future? a) vaccine-preventable diseases are just part of life. it is better to have the disease than become immune through vaccines b) vaccine programs fail to produce overall health benefits of a population by because they do not reduce the transmission od disease c) the particles act as antibodies, against which the person's immune system will develop antibodies d) the particles act as antigens, against which the person's immune system will develop antibodies e) vaccines create an entirely new immune systemarrow_forwardComparing the number of infections, people catch cold so much more often than flu .Why haven’t we spent time and effort on developing vaccines to the cold virus ? a)The cold viral particle change over time, too difficult to develop a vaccine b)The cold viral remain stable over time and lose their ability to infect human over time c)The cold viral particle constantly change over time , catch a cold virus will result in vaccination for a long time d)There are too many strains of the cold virus and the symptoms are mildarrow_forward
- e) Bats have been implicated as the source of many viruses against which humans have a difficult time mounting an effective immune response. Interestingly, flight plays an important role. i) Describe and explain i) the role that flight plays in creating these kinds of viruses, ii) how the viruses cross over into humans, and iii) why our immune response has a more difficult time mounting an effective response against themarrow_forwardThis is a hypothetical scenario. A recently emerged virus has been transmitting and mutating rapidly in humans throughout the world. If a vaccine that stops transmission of all current circulating variants of the virus in humans is utilized and herd immunity is achieved throughout the world, would this essentially stop 1) further transmission of the virus; 2) further mutation of the virus, respectively? Why/why not? Please answer the question succinctly and in bullet points!arrow_forwardThe emergence of new cases of polio linked to the oral vaccine had been reported in a number of African and Asian countries, revealing that there are now more children being paralyzed by viruses originating in vaccines than in the wild. Viral contamination of a biological may arise from many factors, from handling to the origin of the materials used in the cell culture. a What could be the reason for the outbreak in those countries? D) The method of producing attenuated “live" vaccines involve passing the disease- tausing virus through a series of cell cultures or animal embryos (typically chick embryos). Explain the procedure in details and cite the reason why the method involve passing a virus through a non-human host?arrow_forward
- Why doesn't a long lasting vaccine against common cold exist yet?arrow_forwardPrior to the development of detection assay for HIV in the blood supply, HCV was used as a proxy. That is to say, any donated blood found to be contaminated with HBV or HCV was also assumed to be HIV positive as well. What do you think was the rationale behind the use of HCV as an indicator of HIV? Do you think this was a reasonable approach at the time?arrow_forwardEven though the oral polio vaccine is not used in the developed world, it is still widely used in the developing world, in part because it confers what might be called “accidental” herd immunity. Can you speculate on what this is?arrow_forward
