Textbook Question
Chapter 21, Problem 31CTQ
The vaccine Gardasil that targets human papilloma virus (HPV), the etiological agent of genital warts, was developed after the anti-HPV medication podofilox. Why would doctors still want a vaccine created after anti-viral medications were available?

According to the article which was written before the COVID-19 vaccine was created, when do people turn to magic? How can this tendency, which happens across cultures and throughout history, contribute to the current spread of the novel coronavirus and its variants?
What is the Coronavirus? Is it a living organism? How does it reproduce? The current vaccines that are being distributed in the United States are made by Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson and Johnson. Explain how they work and how health officials believe they will aid in the pandemic? What should we expect as more and more people get vaccinated? Will things immediately go back to the way they were before? What is the Delta variant and how is it impeding on getting things back to "normal"?
Discuss one common myth or misconception about the HPV Virus. Explain why the myth may exist and what is the truth! Provide a source.

- Laura Brennan, a human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine advocate and cervical cancer casualty, was diagnosed with HPV-16-associated cervical cancer at age 24. In 2018, U.S. health officials extended the allowable age for the HPV vaccine to 45. Determine which patients will have the greatest chance of protection from the Gardasil vaccine, which prevents infections of nine strains of HPV including HPV-16 and HPV-18 and five additional types of cancer-causing HPV as well as strains HPV-6 and HPV-11 that cause genital warts. Recall that vaccines train the body's immune system to recognize a particular infection (see figure). Disease Vaccine Vaccine Antibodies organisms Antibodies A vaccine with an inactive form or harm- less amount of a virus The vaccine stimulates When the individual is the immune system to produce antibodies (in green) that recognize exposed to the virus after vaccination, the new antibodies are primed to attack the invader.

Vaccine preventable diseases include COVID-19. For coronaviruses, it is more likely to find evolving mutations in the portion of the spike protein than the nucleocapsid protein. Mutations in the genetic code for the spike protein will produce 3D changes that are more likely to affect vaccine efficacy than changes to the nucleocapsid protein code. The nucleocapsid protein interacts with viral nucleic acid specifically whereas the spike protein interacts with the host protein non-specifically.arrow_forward
