1) Viruses are non-_______. They also will
attack and use other organisms to
reproduce. What good could a virus do?
2) What is a bacteriophage (hint: type of
virus)?
3) How does your immune system fight
viruses? What is so problematic about
AIDS/HIV?

Virus*
- Non-living particles made of
either DNA or RNA and a protein
coat.
- Need a host to reproduce.
- Invade cells and use them to
reproduce viruses, killing the cell.
- Disease from viruses account for
most illness in humans.

Chicken Pox
- Fairly benign
- Only get once in your life (body
produces antibodies)
- Can lead to ‘Shingles’
later in life.
Chicken Pox - Varicella

Rabies
-
-
Affects brain and central spine.
A classic rabies sign in animals is if they become
unafraid of humans (wild). Bats most likely to give
you rabies.
Humans become comatose after getting rabies if
not treated (followed by death), there is no
zombie rabies biting going on.
Rabies
Dengue Fever – Breakbone Fever
-
-
Spread by mosquitoes. Most effective way to stop
it, is not get bit by mosquitoes….
Signs are a skin rash similar to measles.
Serious cases can cause death from bleeding and
lower blood cell counts. Most common in tropical
locations (Pacific islands, Latin America).
Dengue Fever – Breakbone Fever
Why are else are VIRUSES so dangerous?
1. They can lie and wait for days, weeks, even years
before springing to action.
2. Once you’re infected, they spend most of their time
HIDDEN INSIDE your cells.
3. They not only are in your cells, but their instructions
can mess up YOUR genetic DNA = CANCER!.
4. There’s a lot of different viruses out there.
5. Anything that can kill BACTERIA is dangerous; those
specific viruses are called Bacteriophages!
