By administering protease inhibitors early, when feverish symptoms have started, the drugs could reduce the viral load and ameliorate the disease. (news-medical.net)
No one can predict how long it may take to develop any symptoms of HIV disease. (aids.org)
Palivizumab injection is not used to treat the symptoms of RSV disease once a child already has it. (medlineplus.gov)
Talk to your child's healthcare provider about the symptoms of RSV disease. (medlineplus.gov)

Despite the persistence of disease and pandemics throughout history, there's one consistent trend over time - a gradual reduction in the death rate. (visualcapitalist.com)
He pointed out that two of the possible disease-driving mechanisms are persistence of the virus and prolonged inflammation that is slow to resolve. (medscape.com)

Like HIV, the SARS virus multiplies rapidly, hijacking the machinery of the cells it infects to clone itself over and over again. (news-medical.net)
HIV is a virus that can multiply rapidly in your body. (aids.org)

A slow virus disease is a disease that, after an extended period of latency, follows a slow, progressive course spanning months to years, frequently involves the central nervous system, and in most cases progresses to death. (wikipedia.org)

A vaccine targets a virus in a particular form. (healthline.com)
If the virus changes, the vaccine may not work on it anymore. (healthline.com)
What we are finding is that the SARS-CoV-2 virus appears to be mutating more slowly than the seasonal flu which may allow scientists to develop a vaccine. (livescience.com)
The fact that so many laboratories have rushed to make a COVID-19 vaccine so quickly is excellent news and can help to make up for the slow start. (bgr.com)

On the basis of their success, the researchers have received an $8 million grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to develop protease inhibitors that would block key enzymes in the SARS virus and hamper its advance. (news-medical.net)
Also during the briefing, Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, urged people to forgo unnecessary tests and medical procedures, all of which reduce the supply of the personal protective gear needed for doctors and nurses. (cnet.com)

In March and early April 2009, Mexico experienced outbreaks of respiratory illness subsequently confirmed by CDC and Canada to be caused by the novel virus. (cdc.gov)
Tracking how viruses have changed in a location can also answer questions like, "How many separate outbreaks exist in my community? (livescience.com)

By screening mice with genetic mutations, the Imperial team discovered a strain of mice that produced 10 times as many cytotoxic T cells when infected with a virus compared with normal mice. (innovationtoronto.com)
Then, much as we could try to decode how "CAT" became "MAD," scientists can use models on genetic evolution to try to determine the most likely evolutionary history of the virus. (livescience.com)
either DNA or RNA viruses may have single or double strands of genetic material. (msdmanuals.com)

Viruses are among the smallest microbes, typically ranging from 0.02 to 0.3 micrometer, although several very large viruses up to 1 micrometer in length (megavirus, pandoravirus) have recently been discovered. (msdmanuals.com)
DNA viruses typically replicate in the host cell nucleus, and RNA viruses typically replicate in the cytoplasm. (msdmanuals.com)
