Document Summary
Diseases caused by pathogenic viruses can be categorized into: Pandemic: a disease that is prevalent over a whole country, or the globe and increases in frequency populations in constant and low frequency. rapidly increases in frequency. By understanding the life cycle of the virus, we understand how it spreads. This allows us to target specific stages in the life cycle of the virus when designing anti-viral drugs. How fast does it respond to selection. were previously effective. Evolutionary history will reappear. re-emergence of these viruses. We can understand where the virus comes from, and likely predict if or when it. This gives us prospects for vaccine, and allows us to predict and avoid the. Ebola virus fuses with the cell lining the respiratory tract, eyes or body cavity. A virus that is not in a host cell is a virion. It does this buy contacting the host cell receptor and the lysosome receptor of the host cell. into viral proteins.
