In particular‚ human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and herpes simplex virus (HSV) are notorious for their capability to end a person’s way of life. These viral maladies are noted for differing methods of transmission‚ distinct lack of prominent symptoms‚ and the dissimilar treatments used on patients to ease the symptoms. HIV and HSV are both classified as sexually transmitted diseases‚ yet they are inherently

Next‚ the L2 protein facilitates transfer of the viral genome to nuclei of keratinocytes‚20 and with the help of early viral proteins (E1 and E2)‚ the virus maintains its episomal form and replicates in synchrony with host

Lastly‚ the nucleic acid of some viruses is packed into the capsid similar to a box‚ while for others‚ the nucleic acid is assembled together with the capsomeres and is integrated into the structure of the

Anthrax is a serious disease that is caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis. Bacillus anthracis has a very detailed yet simple description. Its shape is given away in its name by bacillus‚ which means rod-shaped and is also arranged in chains. It is gram-positive‚ so it has a simple cell wall. Since B. anthracis is non-motile‚ it is best to use a semi-solid media rather than a wet mount (Bacillus anthracis… [date unkown]). Colonies will resemble the comma-shape because of the bacilli chains and

First it is important to find out what’s the difference between a bacteria and a virus. A bacterium is one of the three living domains of life. It is a prokaryote which means it does not house a nucleus or membrane-bounded organelles. However‚ it does have a nucleoid region where the DNA is stored. It can be said that bacteria
