It’s late summer and a new influenza virus strain has appeared in chickens across the country.It’s an H1N1 strain of Influenza A, like the Spanish flu that caused one of the deadliest pandemics in humanhistory, back in 1918. In that case too it started as an avian flu that mutated and jumped directly from birdsto humans.You are a researcher at the NIH and the President gives you 24 hours to predict the chances that this couldturn into the next “Spanish flu”. They also ask you to present a plan for a vaccine that will specifically targetthis new strain.The full sequence of the Spanish flu virus is available and is also known which mutations where key toconfer it both high infectivity and high virulence. Also the frequency of mutations of this family of viruses isknown.Samples of the new strain currently infecting chickens are also available to you.You are at the NIH laboratories in Bethesda, MD, and you have infinite resources (equipment and staff) atyour disposal.Remember: Influenza…
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion 1) A population of HIV viruses exposed to any single antiretroviral medication typically evolves resistance to this medication within a year or two. In contrast, populations of humans exposed to HIV for many years have not yet evolved significant resistance to HIV infection. Which of the following reasons may explain why evolution has been so much more rapid in HIV populations than in human populations? a) Humans have much longer generation times. b) Humans have reverse transcriptases that are less error prone. c) Human DNA polymerases are less error prone. d) Viruses need to mutate quickly to survive in their hosts. e) Humans have no ability to evolve resistance to HIV.
Evaluate how each of the following results of scientific studies regarding mutations of the SARS-COV2 viral genome may implicate how humans can live with the virus for generations to come. Results Implication Scientific analysis of SARS-COV2 viral genomes from different countries has revealed that the virus accumulates about 2 new mutations per month. Many of these mutations have occurred due to their many battles with the immune systems of their human hosts. The vast majority of mutations have little or no effect on how the virus behaves, but scientists are keeping a watchful eye on mutations of the critical region of the viral genome: the gene encoding the spike protein. Mutations that give the virus an evolutionary advantage should be more likely to turn up repeatedly in the virus’ family tree.
In 1918, an influenza pandemic that originated with avian flu killed 50 million people. Researchers isolated samples of that virus from bodies of infected people preserved in Alaskan permafrost since 1918. From the samples, they sequenced the viral genome, then reconstructed the virus. The reconstructed virus is 39,000 times more infectious than modern influenza strains, and 100 percent lethal in mice. Understanding how this virus works can help us defend ourselves against other deadly influenza strains that arise. For example, discovering what makes it so infectious would help researchers design more effective vaccines. Critics of the research are concerned: If the virus escapes the containment facilities (even though it has not done so yet), it might cause another pandemic. Worse, terrorists could use the published DNA sequence and methods to make the virus for horrific purposes. Do you think this research makes us more or less safe?
Choose the correct answer : Human Papillomaviruses are characterised by all of the following EXCEPT: A. A genome of double-stranded circular DNA encoding around eight open reading frame B. These viruses are small naked and icosahedral C. The most likely source of the HPV to humans is camels D. They replicate in dividing cells and encodes three oncogenic proteins E5, E6 and E7 E.

1. These viruses have likely been around for a very long time. Why are they suddenly evolving to infect human hosts? 2. Looking at the phylogeny below which shows the relationships between the original SARS-CoV virus and the one we are currently facing, SARS-CoV-2. What is the evidence (in the figure that SARS-CoV-2 did not arise from SARS-CoV in humans? 3. What is the evidence (shown in the figure) that the likely origin of CoV-2 is a bat and not a pangolin?

When treated with AZT, a population of HIV will inevitably evolve from almost all sensitive to almost all resistant to AZT treatment. The figure shows the general genome of a HIV, with the â Gagâ encoding viral capsid protein, "Pol" the reverse transcriptase and other enzymes, "Env" the viral envelop proteins, and "LTR" the long terminal repeat sequence that does not code for protein. Based on the information, which gene do you think the resistance mutation against AZT is likely to be found on? 5' LTR 3' LTR Сap Gag Pol Env Poly A Tail LTR Gag Pol Env All of the above
