Transcript: -The incubation period of malaria generally ranges from 9-40 days -Malaria can be contracted from mosquitoes containing Malaria that bite a human being and hence spread the disease. Part B: 1. The Vaccinations required to travel to TANZANIA Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Hepatitis B, Malaria, Rabies and Yellow Fever. It is also important to be vaccinated against the routine Measles-mumps-rubella, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine, chickenpox vaccine, polio vaccine, and your yearly flu shot. The Incubation Period of Malaria Consequences of not being vaccinated Typhoid The two viruses I have chosen are Typhoid and Malaria. -There are no consequences of not being vaccinated for Malaria as there is no vaccine for Malaria. -Therefore, prevention is very important for Malaria. --Cover exposed areas of your skin with clothing -Use insect repellent -Sleep and stay inside screened rooms -And use a mosquito net over your bed if sleeping outdoors Malaria is a disease transmitted from mosquito to humans via mosquito bites. -Symptoms take from 7-40 days to appear -Symptoms include fevers and flu-like symptoms -Malaria is found in many places around the globe; Africa, Central and South America, Asia, Eastern Europe and the South Pacific Malaria The prevention methods for Typhoid A great website for travel health issues -The incubation period of typhoid is usually 8-14 days -But can range from 3 days to 1 month depending on how much Typhoid is infected into the body -A person could be infected with Typhoid in Tanzania and Benin by eating and drinking contaminated food and water This is a list of all of the infections possible when traveling to Benin and Tanzania. -It is important to get vaccinated against Typhoid, although prevention is still a must as the vaccine only has a 50-80% success rate -Ensure to eat properly prepared and cooked -Only drink safe water (disinfected, boiled, filtered or treated water) -Do not drink unpasteurised milk or tap or well water -There are no consequences of not being vaccinated for Malaria are there is no vaccine for Malaria. -Hence, prevention is very important -If you are infected with Malaria, ensure to use specific anti-malaria treatment as soon as you are diagnosed or see symptoms such as high fevers, flu-like illnesses and shaking chills. Part A: Benin and Tanzania Typhoid is a serious disease found in most parts of the world, apart from the most developed regions of our globe. -Is spread and created by contaminated food and water -Symptoms include fevers and headaches -Over 22 million cases of Typhoid are reported each year -And over 200,000 die each year due to Typhoid and related deaths References "Benin Major Infectious Diseases - Demographics".

Virus Presentation -The consequences of not being vaccinated for Typhoid are not that bad. -The Typhoid vaccine is only effective for 50-80% of doses, so it is highly recommended that a person traveling to a Typhoid infected area uses forms of prevention anyway. -If you do happen to be infected with Typhoid, the fever is treated with antibiotics that kill the salmonella bacteria if symptoms such as fevers and stomach pains occur The Incubation Period of Typhoid I found that www.cdc.gov was an excellent website for informing traveler's of the potential health risks of traveling to various places around the globe. The prevention methods for Malaria -Vaccines are like a pep talk to the body’s immune system; it prepares the body for a particular disease -Vaccines contain a small amount of the disease to inject into the body, but not enough to actually harm the body. -The body then learns how to fight off that disease, and then knows the way it can protect the body from the disease in the future. How do Vaccinations work?

Virus Presentation

Transcript: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Virus Itself Is a genus of slow viruses of the Retroviridae family, characterized by a long incubation period. - Lentivirus (a member of the retrovirus family) . - Causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a condition in humans in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening opportunistic infections and cancers to thrive. Infection with HIV occurs by the transfer of blood, semen, vaginal fluid, pre-ejaculate, or breast milk. Within these bodily fluids, HIV is present as both free virus particles and virus within infected immune cells. The four major routes of transmission are unsafe sex, contaminated needles, breast milk, and transmission from an infected mother to her baby at birth (perinatal transmission). Screening of blood products for HIV has largely eliminated transmission through blood transfusions or infected blood products in the developed world. Group:Group VI (ssRNA-RT) Family:Retroviridae Genus:Lentivirus A retrovirus is an RNA virus that is duplicated in a host cell using the reverse transcriptase enzyme to produce DNA from its RNA genome. Structure What does HIV look like? Outside of a human cell, HIV exists as roughly spherical particles (sometimes called virions). The surface of each particle is studded with lots of little spikes. An HIV particle is around 100-150 billionths of a metre in diameter. HIV particles are much too small to be seen through an ordinary microscope. However they can be seen clearly with an electron microscope. HIV particles surround themselves with a coat of fatty material known as the viral envelope (or membrane). Projecting from this are around 72 little spikes, which are formed from the proteins gp120 and gp41. Just below the viral envelope is a layer called the matrix, which is made from the protein p17. The proteins gp120 and gp41 together make up the spikes that project from HIV particles, while p17 forms the matrix and p24 forms the core. The viral core (or capsid) is usually bullet-shaped and is made from the protein p24. Inside the core are three enzymes required for HIV replication called reverse transcriptase, integrase and protease. Also held within the core is HIV's genetic material, which consists of two identical strands of RNA. What is RNA? Almost all organisms, including most viruses, store their genetic material on long strands of DNA. Retroviruses are the exception because their genes are composed of RNA (Ribonucleic Acid). RNA has a very similar structure to DNA. However, small differences between the two molecules mean that HIV's replication process is a bit more complicated than that of most other viruses. How many genes does HIV have? Nine genes (compared to more than 500 genes in a bacterium, and around 20,000-25,000 in a human). Three of the HIV genes, called gag, pol and env, contain information needed to make structural proteins for new virus particles. The other six genes, known as tat, rev, nef, vif, vpr and vpu, code for proteins that control the ability of HIV to infect a cell, produce new copies of virus, or cause disease. At either end of each strand of RNA is a sequence called the long terminal repeat, which helps to control HIV replication. HIV life cycle Entry Replicate in human cells. A virus particle bumps into a cell that carries on its surface a special protein called CD4. The spikes on the surface of the virus particle stick to the CD4 and allow the viral envelope to fuse with the cell membrane. The contents of the HIV particle are then released into the cell, leaving the envelope behind. Reverse Transcription and Integration Once inside the cell, the HIV enzyme reverse transcriptase converts the viral RNA into DNA, which is compatible with human genetic material. This DNA is transported to the cell's nucleus, where it is spliced into the human DNA by the HIV enzyme integrase. Once integrated, the HIV DNA is known as provirus. Transcription and Translation HIV provirus may lie dormant within a cell for a long time. But when the cell becomes activated, it treats HIV genes in much the same way as human genes. First it converts them into messenger RNA (using human enzymes). Then the messenger RNA is transported outside the nucleus, and is used as a blueprint for producing new HIV proteins and enzymes. Assembly, Budding and Maturation Among the strands of messenger RNA produced by the cell are complete copies of HIV genetic material. These gather together with newly made HIV proteins and enzymes to form new viral particles, which are then released from the cell. The enzyme protease plays a vital role at this stage of the HIV life cycle by chopping up long strands of protein into smaller pieces, which are used to construct mature viral cores. The newly matured HIV particles are ready to infect another cell and begin the replication process all over again. In this way the virus quickly spreads through the human body. And once a person is infected, they can pass HIV

Transcript: By: Laura Cao, Olivia Wu, and Catherine Yi What virus are we doing? RABIES. Rabies Virus Rabies a a deadly virus. Once bitten by an infected animal, in almost all cases, death will occur. Virus Definition: an ultramicroscopic (20 to 300 nm in diameter), metabolically inert, infectious agent that replicates only within the cells of living hosts, mainly bacteria, plants, and animals: composed of an RNA or DNA core, a protein coat, and, in more complex types, a surrounding envelope. -dictionary.com Rabies is a disease that affects the nervous system. Human rabies are uncommon in the United States, but the last one that occurred was in 2004 Wisconsin. Anyone can get rabies. Any mammal. Mostly is it bats or skunks, but animals like dogs, cats, and foxes can get it too. Rabies symptoms At first, the normal symptom of rabies is just a common fever or headache. However, as the virus advances, it can cause confusion, hallucinations, and abnormal behavior. If a human thinks they have this disease, they must immediately be washed with water within 20 mins. If the animal is infected, it should be shot in the head so it can't spread the virus anymore. How do rabies spread? Rabies is transmitted by the saliva of infected animals. The most common way of getting infected is by getting bitten by an infected animal. However, any contact with the saliva of the infected (alive or dead) can be potentially dangerous. The virus is relatively good at hiding from the immune system, so the immune system does not have a response to the virus. In result, the body finds it hard to fight back the virus. There is no current treatment for rabies once the symptoms have appeared. There are only treatments that make the person more comfortable, called “supportive care”. However, if symptoms have not shown yet, the person should take immediate care of the wound or scratches caused by the bite (washing with soap and water, cleaning, etc.) In the US, the virus’s treatment consists of one dose of rabies immune globulin and five doses of the rabies vaccine over a 28-day period. There are two types of infections or actions for invading a cell. Lytic infection is where the virus replicates and kills the cell, while lysogenic infection is where the virus binds the cell’s DNA and waits before much activity. A vaccine is a biological preparation that improves immunity to a particular disease. Antibiotics are what you take when you get the disease, while vaccines are what you get to prevent the disease. Currently, there is a vaccine available called the rabies vaccine. There are many different ways to prevent rabies. The best ways are to keep vaccinations current, do not let pets roam, call your local animal control agency to report about any stray animals, and to spray or neuter your pets. Thank you for watching! Don't get rabies!
