1.Where in the respiratory tract does the seasonal H1N1 influenza and pandemic H1N1 influenza strain infect? (hint:the answers are different)
2.What type of protein did the 1918 Spanish Influenza bind and how does this differ from seasonal H1N1 influenza strains?
3.Explain how the information obtained in questions 1 & 2 illustrates the virulence of seasonal H1N1 influenza and pandemic H1N1 influenza.
Homework Answers
Ans:1)The Pandemic H1N1 influenza generally bind strongly to receptors (a2-6) located in nose,throat and upper airway whereas the Seasonal H1N1 influenza comparatively weakly to receptors (a2-3) located in cells deep inside of the lungs.

Karen is a 22 year old Nursing student that works at the local supermarket in her hometown. It is now the winter season and thus the height of cold and flu season in her hometown. She’d never gotten vaccinated before and had always made it through “flu season” just fine. Additionally, her two best friends were both vaccinated against influenza last year and had still gotten sick. Upon discussing her concerns with them, both warned her against getting vaccinated and...

Do a report on influenza and Coronavirus (COVID-19) be sure to include information about the following: 1) Compare the COVID-19 pandemic we are currently facing to other types of coronavirus. 2) Compare this coronavirus to influenza viruses. What do we know? What is unknown? 3) Describe the different influenza viruses (reference clinical focus "Influenza: Crossing the Species Barrier" pg 367). 4) Is there a difference in the transmission rate of influenza and COVID-19? Death rate? 5) Where did the COVID-19...

1.) Once in the respiratory tract, the flu virus targets cells based on specific glycoproteins on their surfaces. How does the virus gain entry into the target cell? Multiple Choice a.)Glycoproteins within the virus structure bind with glycoproteins on the membrane of the target cell and the virus squeezes through the glycoprotein into the cell. b.)Viruses are made up of lipids and can therefore diffuse through the membrane of target cells, gaining entry. c.)The H spikes of the influenza virus...

5.To gain entry, spikes of the SARS-CoV-2 bind to
angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) found in epithelial cells
especially of the respiratory and oral passageways. As such, these
cells are susceptible to infection by SARS-CoV-2. ACE2 is a protein
consisting of multiple alpha-helices that is embedded in, and
spans, the membrane. What is this type of protein called, and what
structure do the alpha helices represent?
6.Following binding of spike proteins to ACE2, SARS-CoV-2 likely
gains entry into the cell either...

1.In early March, it was reported that two main strains of SARS-CoV-2 had been identified, termed S and L, with the S type being the less virulent ancestral form representing about 30% of prevalence and the more virulent L type having descended from the S type and representing about 70% of prevalence. However, the prevalence of the more virulent L type seems to have decreased after early January, and it is thought that this resulted from human intervention against this...

microbiology case study (worth 25 points) 1) A first-year microbiology student clad in shorts overturns his motorcycle on a patch of gravel. He sustains considerable abrasions and deep lacerations of the right leg. Emergency room personnel have great difficulty trying to remove embedded gravel and dirt. Later many areas of infection develop, and dead tissue can be seen at other sites of the abrasions. A) Describe any pathogenic processes that could be occurring at the sites of injury [invasion, attachment,...
