Viral Mutations00:36

Viral Mutations

32.4K
A mutation is a change in the sequence of bases of DNA or RNA in a genome. Some mutations occur during replication of the genome due to errors made by the polymerase enzymes that replicate DNA or RNA. Unlike DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase is prone to errors because it is not capable of “proofreading” its work. Viruses with RNA-based genomes, like HIV, therefore accrue mutations faster than viruses with DNA-based genomes. Because mutation and recombination provide the raw material...

Viral Recombination00:57

Viral Recombination

23.5K
Cells are sometimes infected by more than one virus at once. When two viruses disassemble to expose their genomes for replication in the same cell, similar regions of their genomes can pair together and exchange sequences in a process called recombination. Alternatively, viruses with segmented genomes can swap segments in a process called reassortment.

Retroviruses02:33

Retroviruses

12.3K
Retroviruses and retrotransposons both insert copies of their genetic elements into the genome of the host cell. Thus, the viral genes are passed on when the host genome is replicated or translated. A typical retroviral DNA sequence contains 3-4 genes that encode the different proteins required for its structural assembly and function as a molecular parasite. This DNA is transcribed into a single mRNA, which is very similar in structure to conventional mRNAs, i.e., it is capped at the 5’...

Steps in Outbreak Investigation01:18

Steps in Outbreak Investigation

135
In the ever-evolving field of public health, statistical analysis serves as a cornerstone for understanding and managing disease outbreaks. By leveraging various statistical tools, health professionals can predict potential outbreaks, analyze ongoing situations, and devise effective responses to mitigate impact. For that to happen, there are a few possible stages of the analysis:

Group Polarization01:01

Group Polarization

34.3K
Group polarization is the strengthening of an original group attitude following the discussion of views within a group (Teger & Pruitt, 1967). That is, if a group initially favors a viewpoint, after discussion the group consensus is likely a stronger endorsement of the viewpoint. Conversely, if the group was initially opposed to a viewpoint, group discussion would likely lead to stronger opposition.

Area of Science:

  • Public health surveillance
  • Epidemiology
  • Social media analytics

Background:

  • Social media serves as a vital information source during disease outbreaks.
  • The 2022 monkeypox (mpox) outbreak generated significant online discussion.
  • This study leverages social media data to understand public discourse on mpox.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze public discourse, knowledge, and opinions regarding the monkeypox (mpox) virus.
  • To identify key themes and topics discussed on Twitter (X) during the 2022 outbreak.

Main Methods:

  • Collected 128,615 English-language tweets mentioning "monkeypox" or "mpoxvirus" from August to October 2022.
  • Utilized natural language processing for data preprocessing and noise reduction.
  • Manually coded a random sample of 200 tweets into 8 distinct themes by three annotators.

Main Results:

  • Eight themes emerged: monkeypox doubts, media, transmission, effects, knowledge, politics, vaccine, and general comments.
  • Monkeypox doubts and media coverage were the most frequent themes, each comprising 22% of analyzed posts.
  • Discourse included both accurate information and prevalent misinformation regarding the monkeypox (mpox) virus.

Conclusions:

  • Twitter (X) is a valuable tool for real-time monitoring of public sentiment during infectious disease outbreaks.
  • Timely identification and analysis of misinformation on social media are crucial for public health response.
  • Social media data can inform public health strategies and interventions during epidemics.
