Influenza A virus replication has a stronger dependency on Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway activity than SARS-CoV-2
The recent COVID-19 pandemic again highlighted the urgent need for broad-spectrum antivirals, both for therapeutic use in acute viral infection and for pandemic preparedness in general. The targeting of host cell factors hijacked by viruses during their replication cycle presents one possible strategy for development of broad-spectrum antivirals. By inhibiting the Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway, ...

Bacteria and Viruses: How They Differ
Bubonic plague, HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 are all examples of pandemics, however, the first is caused by bacteria and the other two are caused by viruses. Both viral and bacterial infections have similar effects on the body. Coughing, sneezing, fever, inflammation, vomiting, fatigue, and so forth are signs that your immune system is working to fight off an infection. While bacteria and viruses ...

Safety, Feasibility, and Efficiency of a New Cooling Device Using Intravenous Cold Infusions for Fever Control
Abstract Background: Fever control plays a key role in therapy of patients with acute brain injury. The infusion of cold saline could serve as an alternative or additional method for targeted temperature management. However, it is difficult to estimate the amount of fluid required to achieve normothermia merely on the basis of body weight. There is no standardized load management regarding the ...

History of the Vaccine
The first vaccine, created by Edward Jenner, was used to fight against cowpox in 1796 in England. Though rarely seen today, cowpox, a viral infection, was contracted often by milkmaids before the late 1700s. When someone touched the udder of a cow that was infected, they could contract cowpox. The cowpox virus is like smallpox; however, it is not as deadly as smallpox. Smallpox is a virus that ...

What is the Difference Between Virus and Bacteria?
Sun Tzu once said, “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.” This is the philosophy you should take into the battle against viruses and bacteria. If you know the difference between virus and bacteria, and how to best take on each, you can never lose. The COVID-19 pandemic has left everyone with a newfound passion for eliminating ...

Mosquito Egg Weak Spots
Malaria. Yellow Fever. Zika. Dengue. West Nile virus. These are some of the diseases, carried by mosquitos, that infect millions of people worldwide every year. According to the World Health Organization, these infections result in over 700,000 deaths annually. To help curb this huge burden on public health, scientists have been searching for better ways to manage mosquito populations to inhibit ...

Risk behaviors and self-reported illnesses among Pacific Northwest surfers
Although surfers have high incidental exposure to marine waters, no studies have investigated if surfer risk behaviors (such as surfing during advisories, near an outfall, during a rain event, or use of personal protective equipment) increase or decrease the risk of acquiring waterborne illnesses. We used a web-based survey to assess the association between risk-based behaviors and ...

Europe’s warming raises tropical disease risk
Add one more horror to the list of awful threats that climate change poses: it could introduce dengue fever in Europe. Dengue fever is already a hazard for 2.5 billion people in humid tropical regions, and 50-100 million people a year are infected by the mosquito-borne disease. It puts 500,000 of them in hospital each year, and kills around 12,000 − many of them children. And there is ...

New and dangerous mold
Cryptococcus gattii was considered to be a mold found only in semi tropical and topical climates until it was found recently in the Pacific Northwest. It seems to have adapted to the cool, wet environment on Vancouver Island, Canada and spread from there to western Canada, Washington (state) and Oregon. It may have already spread to Idaho and California. Normally, Cryptococcus molds are capable ...

Possible role of molecular mimicry in pathogenesis of Ebola virus: implications for a rational vaccine design
Ebola Virus (EBOV) presents a challenge for vaccine development because immune correlates of protection in humans are not well known. In earlier studies we developed a concept of local similarity which refers to resemblance of structural patterns of unrelated proteins as a function of their amino acid composition. The search for local similarities between human and EBOV proteins was performed. ...
