The World Health Organization declared the mpox outbreaks in Congo and elsewhere in Africa a global emergency on Wednesday, with cases confirmed among children and adults in more than a dozen ...
Jerusalem is a logic bomb DOS virus first detected at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, in October 1987. [1] On infection, the Jerusalem virus becomes memory resident (using 2kb of memory), and then infects every executable file run, except for COMMAND.COM. [2]
A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism. [1] Viruses infect all life forms, from animals and plants to microorganisms, including bacteria and archaea.
After Nipah virus outbreaks in India in 2001 and 2007 (both in the eastern state of West Bengal), an outbreak occurred in Kerala in 2018. [1] The 2018 Kerala outbreak was traced to fruit bats in the area, was generally confined to Kozhikode and Malappuram districts, [2] [3] and claimed 17 lives. [4]
XMRV is a murine leukemia virus (MLV) that formed through the recombination of the genomes of two parent MLVs known as preXMRV-1 and preXMRV-2. [12] MLVs belong to the virus family Retroviridae and the genus gammaretrovirus and have a single-stranded RNA genome that replicates through a DNA intermediate.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was discovered in 1956 from a laboratory chimpanzee with upper respiratory tract disease. When 14 chimpanzees were observed with cold-like symptoms, Morris and colleagues discovered a new virus they initially named the "chimpanzee coryza agent" (CCA).
Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2), also known by their taxonomic names Human alphaherpesvirus 1 and Human alphaherpesvirus 2, are two members of the human Herpesviridae family, a set of viruses that produce viral infections in the majority of humans.
Chandipura vesiculovirus is an enveloped RNA virus with an approximate genome length of ~11 kb. Viral genome codes for five polypeptides, namely, nucleocapsid protein N, phosphoprotein P, matrix protein M, glycoprotein G and large protein L in five monocistronic mRNAs.
