Hanta Virus Structure of Hanta Virus Genome Structure of Hanta Virus Epidemiology of Hanta Virus Transmission of Hanta Virus Replication cycle of hantaviruses Pathogenesis of Hanta Virus The recognition of hantaviruses by macrophages (M) or dendritic cells (DCs) induces proinflammatory cytokines, which alter the phenotype of endothelial cells (ECs) from anti- to pro-adhesive. Pro-adhesive ECs … Read more

What is Lytic Cycle? Definition of Lytic Cycle The lytic cycle is a phase of viral reproduction wherein a virus infects a host cell, utilizes the cell’s machinery to replicate, and subsequently causes the cell to burst (lyse), releasing new virions to infect other cells. Bacteriophage(virus) Life cycle of bacteriophage Steps of the Lytic Cycle … Read more
What is Lysogenic Cycle? Definition of Lysogenic Cycle The lysogenic cycle is a viral replication process in which a virus integrates its genetic material into the host cell’s genome, allowing it to remain dormant and propagate without immediately destroying the host. This dormant viral DNA, known as a prophage, can later be activated to initiate … Read more
What are Viruses? Definition of Viruses Viruses are submicroscopic infectious agents that can only replicate within the living cells of a host organism, capable of infecting all forms of life. They consist of genetic material (DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat and, in some cases, an external lipid envelope. Are Viruses Living or … Read more

What is Parvovirus? Classification of Parvovirus Parvovirus B19 Parvovirus B19, or B19 virus, is the causal agent of erythema infectiosum (“fifth disease”; it was fifth of the six identified exanthematous disorders of childhood), a minor viral sickness of children, as well as polyarthralgia–arthritis syndrome in immunocompetent adults. Morphology of Parvovirus B19 B19 viruses manifest the … Read more
Coronaviruses are a type of virus that can cause illness, ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Coronaviruses are so named because they have a crown-like appearance when viewed under a microscope. They are primarily transmitted from person to person … Read more
