The smallpox virus was once one of the most feared diseases in the world‚ and for good reason. Variola was a contagious virus that caused fever and painful‚ pus filled blisters all over the body. Victims had about a one fourth chance of survival‚ and survivors were covered with small‚ pitted scars and sometimes blinded or arthritic. Popping sporadically up in various civilizations‚ smallpox left a trail of destruction through two thousand plus years of mankind’s history. The story of smallpox is

Generally‚ a virus attaches to a specific target cell‚ fusing its envelope with the cell’s membrane and injecting its DNA into the nucleus of the host cell. Once inside the cell‚ this viral DNA replicates itself and also uses the existing machinery within the ‘infected’ cell to make more viral proteins. It then assembles itself and will leave the cell to spread to other cells. The anti-viral acyclovir is taken into the body orally. The acyclovir molecules entering the ‘infected’ cell are converted

Once a person has been infected‚ an individual’s body starts to produce antibodies to genital herpes. Immunologic tests to identify these antibodies can also be carried out to determine whether or not one has been infected. Is there a real cure for genital herpes? Genital herpes is caused by virus. Thus‚ there is no real cure for the

symptoms are lethargy‚ generalized aches and fever followed by cough‚ shortness of breath and occasionally diarrhea. The virus is known to be transmitted by droplets of body fluids when the infected individual coughs or sneezes. It is also thought to possibly be transmitted via contact. The virus is known to survive for up to 3 hours after contaminated droplets have dried. Live virus has also been found in the stool of infected individuals and can live in stool for up to 4 days.

Due to the extreme contagious nature of the disease patient may need to limit contact with the community. Children may need to stay home from school and adults from work‚ until the sores have crusted over.
