Summary Introduction
To write:
Whether an infant gets affected by zika infection.
Introduction:
In 1947, the first zika virus was identified in the East African forest of Uganda. The Aedes species of mosquito hosts the zika virus. Symptoms of zika infections are mild fever, joint pain, pink eye, and rash. The definite incubation period of this virus is not known but is assumed to be 2 weeks, and within it, certain mild symptoms are shown, such as rashes, joint pain, and headache. When this virus is in incubation period, it may not be detected by a blood test, therefore symptoms should not be neglected, and one must take proper care.

At a recent trip to the drug store, your pharmacist informs you that the flu vaccines are in. You fear the risk of getting the flu
because you've had it before and it wasn't a pleasant experience. You proceed to get the vaccinated for the flu.
Which of the following statements regarding your recent vaccination is true?
O The vaccine you received protects you from every strain of the flu.
O The vaccine you received protects you from the strain of bacteria which scientists believe will be common in the upcoming "flu season".
O The vaccine you received protects you from the virus which scientists believe will be common in the upcoming "flu season".
O The vaccine won't be effective because you've had the flu in the past and are immune to it.

- Susceptibility/Predisposition to Infectious Disease Why is it that some people always seem to get the flu and others don't? Why are some individuals more susceptible to SARS CoV-2? 1) links between human genetic variation and susceptibility to a specific infectious disease (e.g., Neanderthal DNA and Covid), 2) link between aging and a specific infectious disease 3) links between stress, nutrition, or exercise and a specific infectious disease. Please be sure to mention: The factor you explored The disease(s) implicated How the factor affects susceptibility to disease (i.e., mechanism)arrow_forwardWhy was variolation abolished in favor of vaccination? Variolation had high infectious (10%) and death rates (up to 3%). Vaccination was much safer and people did not get smallpox from it. Variolation had high infectious (50%) and death rates (up to 3%). Vaccination was much safer and people did not get smallpox from it. Preparing the material for variolation was an incredibly difficult process. Variolation had high infectious (10%) and death rates (up to 30%). Vaccination was much safer and people did not get smallpox from it.arrow_forwardWith genetic testing, a variant can be reported as which of the following? Group of answer choices A variant of uncertain significance Pathogenic Likely pathogenic All of the listed answersarrow_forward
- You performed an Elisa test in the lab to detect antibody against HIV in the patient's serum. The test was found to be 96% sensitive. What does that mean? A western blot was used on the same sample to confirm, and the test was found to be 99% specific. What does that mean?arrow_forwardA virus broke out in a remote area. There are no infected people in my area yet. But we have lots of samples. Please explain in detail how we got a lot of samples.arrow_forwardYou extract B cells and dilute the cells so there’s one B cell in each well of a 10-well plate. You then add nothing to 1 of the wells (negative control). To the remaining 9 wells, you add various intact bacterial cells to the wells (a few cells of 1 strain of bacteria per well). After a day, you remove the contents of each of the 10 wells, and examine each of them under a microscope. For the control, you find the one B cell you started with. For 8 of the 9 samples when bacteria were added, you find the one B cell you started with. But for 1 of the 9 samples when bacteria were added, you find 100s of B cells. What does this tell you about the original B cell from the well where you now see 100s of B cells?arrow_forward

Explain.arrow_forwardWhat are some things that a New Jersey family can do to assure that their first child is less likely to develop allergies? Give two different behavioral changes they can make in parenting (the parents cannot change their child's genetics or whether they the parents have allergies) that will reduce the likelihood their first child will get allergies. A couple of sentences answer is fine.arrow_forward
- You currently work in a BLS 2 lab with organisms that are classified as BSL 1 or 2. Your project manager gives you your next assignment, as you look down the list of organisms that you will be performing susceptibility tests, your eyes stop on Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus anthrax. 1) What gave you pause about these bacteria? 2) What conversation do you need to have with your project manager? no references, just homeworkarrow_forwardName many (more than four) viruses or bacteria a titer not detect even if the patient had already been exposed? (You may need to do a little research)arrow_forwardLabs that do a lot of Western blots often have hundreds of primary bodies but only two or three secondary antibodies. Why? I understand that secondary antibody aids in the detection, sorting or purification of target antigens by binding to the primary antibody which directly binds to the target antigen. However, I don't undrstand why there are only two or three secondary antibodies available in the laboratory. Glad if the expert would advise.arrow_forward
