    The article first addresses the issue of whether or not to consider viruses as living. Although viruses used to be thought of as being biological chemicals due to the fact that they consist of nucleic acids enclosed in a protein coat, they are now residing in the gray area between living and non-living. This is because although they seemed to be inert chemicals, viruses, after entering a host cell, are very active. The protein coat is shed, the virus uncovers its genes, and the host cell’s replication machinery is put to work reproducing the virus’s DNA or RNA and manufacturing more viral protein. In short, viruses are not living in that they are incapable of reproducing on their own, but they have the capacity to replicate through a host cell, allowing them to be capable of carrying out to some degree all of life’s essential functions. This has caused scientists to conclude that modern molecular biology is based upon a foundation of knowledge gained through viruses.…

    The herpes simplex virus causes genital herpes. There are two types of herpes infections. simplex virus 1, and herpes simplex virus 2. However, the incidence of genital herpes caused by herpes simplex virus 1 is increasing. Herpes simplex virus 1 or the cold sore, which can cause genital herpes through oral-genital contact, and herpes simplex virus 2, usually associated with genital infections. The virus is transmitted from an infected person to another during sexual contact. The symptoms and treatment of both types are the same. It is important to notice that type 1 may affect the genital area, and equally type 2 may produce a sore in the mouth area as well (Yancey, p.45). The first episode of genital herpes is described by the development…

    Have you ever been consumed by something that nothing in life really matters except what you are doing? Well I have, and when I read the "Addictive Virus", I felt as though I could relate this topic to me. When Graaf spoke about the concept of how people are consumed by this so called virus, no matter what the circumstance, the people will do whatever it takes. I feel as though I fit that category, and are consumed by these evil powers of this growing problem in today's modern lifestyle.…

    Viruses are sub-cellular agents of infection that must utilize the cellular machinery of bacteria, plants or animals in order to reproduce. Composed of a single strand of genetic material (DNA or RNA) encased in a protein capsid, a virus is too small to be seen by standard light microscopy; indeed, most are less than one hundredth the size of a bacterium.…

    In an infectious disease, the incubation period is the time between infection and the appearance of symptoms. The latency period is the time between infection and the ability of the disease to spread to another person, which may precede, follow, or be simultaneous with the appearance of symptoms. Some viruses also exhibit a dormant phase, called viral latency, in which the virus hides in the body in an inactive state. For example, vermicelli zoster virus causes chickenpox in the acute phase; after recovery from chickenpox, the virus may remain dormant in nerve cells for many years, and later cause herpes zoster (shingles).…
