Learn All About Zika Virus

-
  • Family Name of Zika Virus: Flaviviridae
  • Zika means “Overgrown”
  • It was first isolated in 1947.
  • It was transmitted primarily by Aedes mosquitoes.
  • First, it was affected in Africa and Asia in April 2015.
                                                     

In the latest period, everyone came to know so much dangerous caused virus by mosquitoes called Zika virus, where the same mosquitoes causing dengue and dengue and chikungunya
This virus is caused mainly due to birth defects and also Guillain-Barre syndrome, where one’s immune systems are attacked by the nerves.

Symptoms of zika virus are joint pain, mild rashes fever, body aches and headache. In some extreme cases, zika virus can cause which may last up to a week is extreme headaches and eye infections.
For an instant, if the average normal circumference of a new-born baby is 36 cm, a baby with microcephaly will have a skull size of 20 cm. pregnant women who get infected by zika virus in the first trimester to have babies with an increased incidence of microcephaly.

Diagnosis of zika is dependent on the duration of a sign.
In the first two weeks, the patient is used for diagnosis of zika virus. It is a very sensitive and specific molecular method which is used for taking a blood test.

Treatment:
Urgently, there are no vaccines or cure for zika virus. Thus, the only way to prevent an outbreak by certain precautions:
In high-risk areas such as moisture areas which can cause more mosquitoes. Use mosquito repellents. Make sure that your surroundings are clean. Mosquitos are more aggressive during the day.
                                                 

                                                     


Outbreaking news:
In Standford, they have found protein called Hsp70, which helps protein to fold correctly and make the quality control to function the cells. By using of Hsp70, researchers were able to prevent the Zika virus replication, reported in Cell Reports.

The story of Pathogenic Bacteria you will never believe these bizarre truths

What is meant by Pathogenic bacteria? It is a bacterium, which can cause disease. But most bacteria are harmless, some are pathogenic. There is a bacterial disease which has high burdens caused, named as Tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria, which kills 2 million people a year in Africa. We all know each species have different symptoms to indicate that we are been infected and also let us know that we have a disease: / But this pathogenic bacterium doesn’t have any symptoms to shows up its own behaviour.                                                     Where it will mainly get affected? Bacterial vaginosis Bacterial meningitis Bacterial pneumonia Urinary tract infection Bacterial gastroenteritis Impetigo Erysipelas Cellulitis Treatment It can be treated only with the Antibiotics.

What You Know About Micro Organisms And What You Don't Know About Micro Organisms?

First I would like you to have a look on your fingertips. Is it clean? Did you know? Million tiny things are presented in the tip of your finger. Do you think Bacteria are good? Yes, but no. Some bacteria are really helpful because as we know it digests the food inside our stomach.                             Few bacteria help to break down the dead leaves and other things to make soil rich and used a plant to grow. But some bacteria are most dangerous, which will fall us sick.                                        Fungi we are taking in day-day-life. Most of us are fond of Pizza where they sprinkle yeast (mushroom) on top of it. While comparing bacteria and fungi, fungi are easy can be seen, because they are found in colonies. A single drop of water has numerous numbers of tiny p...

Immunology of Infection

-
Image
Immunology is a study of biology that covers the investigation of insusceptible systems in life forms. In regards to infectious disease, it is an “old associate’’ or developing risk, the immune system’s battle against the first line of defence it experiences. The immune system has built up with a number of ways which deals with controlling a viral and bacterial disease which directly kills the pathogen to complex cytokines that hinder replication. Pathogens have encountered by building up of immune evasion mechanisms that repress cytokine work and prevent resistant of tainted cells. With vaccines and effective medications, the immune system’s destroyed the infectious agents or infected cells. When microorganisms invade, their foreign macromolecules are recognized by pattern recognition receptors of the host, which initiate rapid innate immune responses (including phagocytes, cytokines and complement) followed by slower but very specific long-lasting acquired immune responses mediated...
