Cell Virus Research Paper
New viruses are being constructed in the world almost every second; they are present in the body at any given moment. The rate at which these viruses are being transmitted from individual to individual is increasing and it is becoming more harmful to every organism. The benefits that occur from host transfers are that viruses that infect organisms cause one infection; there is a less likely chance of an epidemic within the host cell. This article talks about how viruses are transmitted from host to host and how they can cause epidemic diseases. Through the environment, specific hosts, hospitable binding sites, and other factors, the spread of viruses can be controlled. Viruses that have caused epidemics in the past have had an established animal reservoir and have switched hosts to humans. By studying theses effects on viruses, it helps us to better understand viruses and how to control future epidemics in the world.
The latest types of viruses infecting humans today are the enzootic and epizootic viruses; these viruses come from the transmission of animals to humans. Another virus, Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), …show more content…
Studies show however that the recombination of the genome poses more harmful effects; the structure and proteins of the virus begin to break causing the virus’s ability to infect the cell to function at a less optimum level and replicate at a slower rate. Recombination is an important aspect in host switching since it allows the virus to better adapt in a different environment. The adaptation for a host-switching virus can take variable amounts of time; some adapt faster than others. A reason seen for this is the binding site on the host cell; those receptors that are more hospitable will allow the virus to infect the cell faster and will allow the virus to remain in the cells for a longer period of
