Lysogenic infections are viruses. But all viruses are not lysogenic. Tobacco mosaic virus is a single stranded RNA virus also called viroid. The infection causes mosaic-like mottling and discoloration. Tobacco mosaic virus was the first virus discovered in the late 19th century. It was the first pathogen identified as a virus. 

HIV is a virus that may cause an infection,  is a condition. Over time, HIV can destroy so many cells that the body can’t fight off infections and diseases. HIV reduces the number of T cells in the body. This causes opportunistic infections to take over the immune system. Contracting HIV can lead to the development of  When the number of T cells falls below 200, you are considered to have . 

Viruses are tinier than bacteria. The largest virus is smaller than the smallest bacteria. A virus has no cell structure and requires a cell to survive. Bacteria are alive and viruses can be living or nonliving. Infections by bacteria are usually cured by antibiotics.

Some bacteria are helpful and live in the gut. Scientists are learning how to use viruses in genetic engineering to help people. Bacteria live in-between cells, viruses live inside cells to change the host’s genetic material. Antibiotics cannot destroy viruses.

A human gut contains 300 to 500 different bacteria in the gut. While some bacteria are harmful to our health, many are very helpful and even necessary for our body. High fiber foods feed healthy bacteria that improve immune function, reduce inflammation and disease, and even regulate mood.]]> 2019-02-16 00:11:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_blair/c62g3n3trqt8/wish/331941274 https://padlet.com/cynthia_blair/c62g3n3trqt8/wish/332018036 Once you have a lysogenic infection, you have it forever.

2. Lytic Infection- allows the virus to immediately effect the hosts' body.
3. Lysogenic Infection- hides out in the hosts' body until the host becomes weak. It then will strike. Until it strikes, it is reproducing in the cells.
4. Viruses are specific to what they infect. For example, bacteriophages only infect bacteria.
5. A prion is made of only proteins, where a viroid is made of single-stranded RNA. Prions causes diseases such as Mad Cow Disease, which caused a big problem in Europe between the late 1900's and the early 2000's. Viroids cause diseases in plants. These diseases pass through pollen and seeds.

Viruses like Swine Flu and the common cold and other common viruses can be treated with being more physically healthy and as you get older get the vaccine required to prevent these viruses. Scientist are still trying to better prepare for viruses that'll evolve and be strong enough to be immune to the previous vaccine. With new chemical studies and improvement in medicines, scientists hopefully will be able to predict how and what to do to prevent the virus from even happening. -Justin Noble]]> 2019-02-18 01:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_blair/c62g3n3trqt8/wish/332202928 https://padlet.com/cynthia_blair/c62g3n3trqt8/wish/332206187 I learned that viruses aren't really cells. They actually have their own "category". I also learned that viruses can't die (but they're not really alive so...).

1. Viruses are non-living
2. A prion causes diseases
3. Retroviruses mutate at a high rate and are prone to mutations (ex. HIV infections)
4. There are two types of vaccines, one with a weakened strand of the virus and one with the dead
5. Some viruses do not have vaccines because they mutate so rapidly that taking the time to make a vaccine would be useless and ineffective.

The three shapes of a virus include the enveloped virus, the helical virus, and the polyhedral virus. The different vital shapes play a big role in how viruses work. It is how they identify their host cells. They will use a cell to multiply themselves and infect us.

But this main difference is that viruses are not considered living organisms according to the 8 qualifications for life. Viruses also cannot replicate by themselves, meaning they have to find a host to replicate. These parasitic cells can be good or can be bad. Viruses can have an immediate effect on the host cell (lytic), or they can wait until environmental conditions are favorable (lysogenic). Some have higher mutation rates than others, which prohibits the production of a vaccine for that virus.]]> 2019-02-18 15:10:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_blair/c62g3n3trqt8/wish/332363309 elizabeth_carlson https://padlet.com/cynthia_blair/c62g3n3trqt8/wish/332382931 I learned that viruses differ in shape, size, and in ways of entering the host cells, but they still have a simple structure. Their different shapes also play a role in how the viruses work, because it is how they identify their host cell. The three main shapes of a virus are an enveloped virus, a helical virus, and a polyhedral virus. Viruses are specific in what they infect and can only affect a limited range of hosts. Viruses can only reproduce after they have infected host cells. ]]> 2019-02-18 16:10:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_blair/c62g3n3trqt8/wish/332382931 https://padlet.com/cynthia_blair/c62g3n3trqt8/wish/332400455 I have learned that viruses are made up of DNA or RNA and a protein cover. A viruse is an non-living pathogen and can be different shapes. Viruses are specific on what they infect and they can either have DNA or RNA. They can NEVER have both. You can’t take antibiotics for viruses like you can with bacterial infections. You can only take vaccines or weaken the viruse with medication, but if it’s an lytic infection it may enter the lysogentic cycle. For an example, the common cold is constantly changing and evolving so no medication can completely cure the cold but instead your body has to fight it off over time. That is with other serious viruses such as SARS, Influenza, Rabies, and HIV.]]> 2019-02-18 17:06:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_blair/c62g3n3trqt8/wish/332400455 https://padlet.com/cynthia_blair/c62g3n3trqt8/wish/332417477 I learned that viruses are a non-living pathogen that can cause infection. They’re different in the shape, size, and method of entering and infecting host cells. Some pierce host cells and others enter by endocytosis. The only way viruses can reproduce is after they infect host cells, and that viruses are specific in what they infect.

A virus is a non living pathogen and can infect many organisms. Viruses can reproduce only by infecting living organisms. Most viruses are so small they can only be seen with a special microscope. Most viruses have proteins on their surface membrane which they use to trick the cell into taking in the virus. The simplest viruses contain only a few genes where as the most complex has hundreds of genes. Different virus shapes determine how the virus works and is how they identify the host cell.  There are three basic types of viral shapes: helical viruses have capsomeres that spiral around the nucleic acid, forming a tube-like structure; polyhedral viruses are roughly spherical, with a shape similar to a geodesic dome; and complex viruses have capsids of many different shapes. HIV is caused by RNA virus called human immunodeficiency virus, which belongs to a group of RNA viruses that are called retroviruses. ]]> 2019-02-18 18:26:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_blair/c62g3n3trqt8/wish/332421236 https://padlet.com/cynthia_blair/c62g3n3trqt8/wish/332421914 I have learned that viruses differ in size, shape and ways of entering host cells. I have also learned that an example of a enveloped virus is influenza. Another thing I have learned is viruses are specific in what they infect.

This is because they lack most characteristics of life, however there is still ongoing debate about it. I also learned that ANY disease causing agent is called a pathogen. Also, lysogenic viruses such as Mononucleosis, are lifelong, some can be treated, but not cured. Lastly, I learned that vaccines are made from weakened pathogens.

They are like some sort of UFO or vehicle that carries the dangerous package of a "hacked code", or mutated genetic material, that'll help the virus replicate and take over cells making you sick and making your body prepare to fight back. Its like a star wars space fight, viruses vs cells and the immune system. Viruses come in various different shapes and sizes. I also learned that anti-vaxx people (people who are against vaccinating their children) are stupid because vaccination is basically inserting a weak pathogen into the body to "train" the immune system to fight against it so it can prepare for future attacks, vaccines are tested and renewed every year and doctors make sure its safe before use.

One that activates ones its in the cell, and another that leaves its genetic material in the cell and waits for a trigger to activate it.]]> 2019-02-18 20:01:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_blair/c62g3n3trqt8/wish/332447385 https://padlet.com/cynthia_blair/c62g3n3trqt8/wish/332490377 I have learned a virus is a non-living pathogen smaller than a bacterium. Virus shapes identify what type of host cell the virus will infect. Most viruses are species specific.

These prion viruses can result in brain diseases, such as mad cow disease. Additionally, I learned that lytic infections are caused by bacteriophage inserting its DNA into a host’s cell. This causes the host cell to produce more of the lytic virus. The end result is the host cell exploding from all the lyses and spreads to rest of cells in host’s body. Finally, I learned that RNA viruses that insert a DNA copy of their genome into a host cell in order for it to reproduce more of the virus copies are called retroviruses ]]> 2019-02-19 04:17:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_blair/c62g3n3trqt8/wish/332539275 https://padlet.com/cynthia_blair/c62g3n3trqt8/wish/332545415 Viruses are nonliving pathogens(disease causing agents) that are specific to the organisms they infect. 
Viruses reproduce 2 ways: lytic cycle ( viral DNA forms plasmid host) and lysogenic cycle (viral DNA forms prophage). 
Vaccines are made from weak pathogens and there are two ways in which these vaccines can be administered: live attenuated: virus weakened to simulate infection ,and inactivated: dead viruses injected.

I have learned that bacteria can cause one or multiple infections for all organisms. for example, bacteria can appear in raw, expired, and undercooked foods that will cause you to get sick and that's where the viruses come in.
2. Viruses is made out of either DNA or RNA and a protein coat, there are different kinds of viruses. for example, helical virus, polyhedral virus, etc. also there are multiple kinds of infections that can or cannot be cured by scientists and doctors and they can be part of two different cycle: Lytic Cycle and Lysogenic Cycle.
3. in conclusion, viruses and bacteria can cause any organism in any species to get sick or infected, if the infection or virus is not cured or treated, the organism/organisms will die from the spread of bacteria, viruses and infection.
