Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason for more susceptibility of enveloped viruses to disinfection, when they have an extra “layer”.
Introduction:
Disinfection process is used for the removal of pathogenic bacteria and microbes. Disinfection does not remove or kills all the microbial forms. It cannot remove/destroy microbial spores. For example, alcohol can kill pathogenic microbes. It can be applied only to inanimate objects and can reduce the numbers of bacteria and viruses.

Please help me calculate drug dosage from the following information:
Patient weight: 35 pounds, so 15.9 kilograms (got this by dividing 35 pounds by 2.2 kilograms)
Drug dose: 0.05mg/kg
Drug concentration: 2mg/mL
A 25-year-old woman presents to the emergency department with a 2-day history of fever, chills, severe headache, and confusion. She recently returned from a trip to sub-Saharan Africa, where she did not take malaria prophylaxis. On examination, she is febrile (39.8°C/103.6°F) and hypotensive. Laboratory studies reveal hemoglobin of 8.0 g/dL, platelet count of 50,000/μL, and evidence of hemoglobinuria. A peripheral blood smear shows ring forms and banana-shaped gametocytes. Which of the following Plasmodium species is most likely responsible for her severe symptoms?
A.
Plasmodium vivax
B.
Plasmodium ovale
C.
Plasmodium malariae
D.
Plasmodium falciparum
