Viral pathogenesis seeks to understand how a virus interacts with its host at multiple levels. Key questions include the source (an infected human, animal, or insect vector), the transmission mechanism, and how the virus is shed and transmitted.

Infectious disease control and prevention relies on a thorough understanding of the factors determining transmission.

2025年1月18日 · Understanding viruses is essential for developing strategies to combat infections and prevent outbreaks. This article explores various facets of virology, focusing on viral structure, transmission modes, and vaccine development.

Transmission Regardless of the reservoir, transmission must occur for an infection to spread. First, transmission from the reservoir to the individual must occur. Then, the individual must transmit the infectious agent to other susceptible individuals, either directly or indirectly. Pathogenic microorganisms employ diverse transmission mechanisms.

2024年9月12日 · Infections can be acquired at home or in the community and brought into settings or acquired and spread within the setting. Infections are caused by micro-organisms such as bacteria, viruses,...

2021年3月22日 · Respiratory viruses can be transmitted via four major modes of transmission: direct (physical) contact, indirect contact (fomite), (large) droplets and (fine) aerosols.

Viruses are known to infect most organisms, including bacteria, blue-green algae, fungi, plants, insects, and vertebrates, but we attempt here to provide an overview of virology that emphasizes their potential as human disease agents.

4 天之前 · The role of viral interaction—where one virus enhances or inhibits infection with another virus—in respiratory virus transmission is not well characterized. This study used data from 4029 ...
