Infection01:20

Infection

11.7K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

14.1K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Introduction to Virus

2.9K
Viruses are unique biological entities that blur the boundary between living and non-living systems. Although they lack cellular structure and metabolic processes, they can exhibit characteristics of life when infecting a host. Their defining feature is a nucleic acid core, composed of either DNA or RNA, encapsulated within a protein coat called a capsid. This simple structure allows them to invade host cells and use their machinery for replication efficiently.Viral Structure and...

Investigation of Disease Outbreaks01:23

Investigation of Disease Outbreaks

Multistate foodborne outbreaks pose significant public health risks and require meticulous investigation to identify sources and implement control measures. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) utilizes a dynamic seven-step process for these investigations, integrating data from laboratories, interviews, and environmental assessments to protect public health.Outbreak Detection: The detection of multistate outbreaks typically begins with PulseNet, the CDC's national laboratory...

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Cell Biology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Viral diseases pose significant public health threats.
  • Understanding viral invasion mechanisms is crucial for developing antiviral strategies.
  • Most viruses exhibit low plaque-forming unit (PFU)-to-particle ratios, necessitating investigation into underlying factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantitatively analyze the efficiencies of different stages of viral invasion for Semliki Forest virus (SFV), Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), and influenza A virus (IAV).
  • To identify the rate-limiting steps in the invasion process for each virus.
  • To investigate the influence of virus purification methods on invasion efficiency.

Main Methods:

  • Quantitative single-particle analysis was employed.
  • The study analyzed key invasion steps: attachment, entry, intracellular transport, and endosomal fusion.
  • Parallel analysis was conducted for SFV, JEV, and IAV.

Main Results:

  • SFV infection was limited by an entry efficiency of approximately 31%.
  • JEV infection was limited by attachment (27%) and entry (10%) efficiencies.
  • IAV infection was significantly limited by attachment (5%), entry (9%), and fusion (53%) efficiencies.
  • Significant variations in attachment efficiencies were observed among the viruses.
  • The study also examined the impact of virus purification methods on invasion.

Conclusions:

  • Viruses with differing infectivities exhibit distinct rate-limiting steps during invasion.
  • Attachment efficiency plays a pivotal role in viral invasion.
  • This research provides the first quantitative report on the efficiencies of various viral invasion stages.
  • A protocol for quantitatively analyzing virus invasion efficiency has been established.
