Viral Infections The body's defense system. Most viruses do not cause serious diseases and are killed by the body's immune system—its network of natural defenses. In many cases, people never even know they have been infected. But unlike bacteria, which can be killed by antibiotics, most viruses are not affected by existing medicines. Fortunately, scientists have been able to make vaccines, which help the body develop natural defenses to prevent many viral infections.

- Vaccines create immunity that protects you from an infection without causing the suffering of the disease itself. Sometimes vaccines are called immunizations, needles or shots. Here's how vaccines work: 1  Most vaccines contain a little bit of a disease germ that is weak or dead.

What Are Vaccines and What Do They Do? Vaccines historically have been the most effective means to prevent and even eradicate infectious diseases. They safely and cost-effectively prevent illness, disability and death. Like smallpox and polio vaccines, a preventive HIV vaccine could help save millions of lives.

- Conjugate vaccines are somewhat similar to recombinant vaccines: they’re made using a combination of two different components. Conjugate vaccines, however, are made using pieces from the coats of bacteria. These coats are chemically linked to a carrier protein, and the combination is used as a vaccine.ive, Attenuated Vaccines. Attenuated vaccines can be made in several different ways. Some of the most common methods involve passing the disease-causing virus through a series of cell cultures or animal embryos (typically chick embryos).

- Unable to do much of anything on their own, viruses go into host cells to reproduce, often wreaking havoc and causing disease. Their ability to move genetic information from one cell to another makes them useful for cloning DNA and could provide a way to deliver gene therapy. :::more:::

Treatments for Viral diseases Antibiotics treat bacterial infections and are ineffective for the treatment of viral infections. Sometimes drugs called antiviral drugs may be used to help treat certain types of viral infections. Antiviral drugs help to minimize the severity of a viral infection.Depending on the type of viral infection and the presence of complications, a wide variety of other treatments may be needed.iral diseases can be very difficult to treat because viruses live inside the body's cells where they are protected from medicines in the blood stream. Researchers developed the first antiviral drug in the late 20th century.

- Antibiotics are medicines used to treat infections or diseases caused by bacteria. Antibiotics do not work against viruses.Many common respiratory tract infections (RTIs) — such as colds and flu — are caused by viruses, so antibiotics are of no use.ntibiotics are medicines used to treat infections or diseases caused by bacteria. Antibiotics do not work against viruses.

Flu Vaccine In 1933, researchers discovered that viruses (influenza virus types A, B, and rarely C) cause influenza (flu). Prior to 1933, a bacterium named Haemophilus was thought to cause the flu.In 1938, Jonas Salk and Thomas Francis developed the first vaccine against flu viruses.This first flu vaccine was used to protect the U.S. military forces against the flu during World War II. Dr. Salk used his experience with influenza vaccine to develop an effective polio vaccine in 1952.rior to 1933, a bacterium named Haemophilus was thought to cause the flu.

Vaccination There are different types of vaccines: 1  Inactivated vaccines contain particles (usually viruses). These have been grown for the purpose. 2  Attenuated vaccines contain live viruses, that have been weakened. They will reproduce, but very slowly, making it an easy win for the immune system.

- When a cell is infected with a virus several effects may be seen. Many viruses cause no harm or disease whatsoever. However, some viruses may attack certain cells and multiply within them.Once mature the daughter viruses break the cell and spread elsewhere. This is called a lytic infection.irus spread control. Viral diseases can be prevented from spreading by vaccinations and the most successful of these is the small pox vaccine that has completely eradicated the disease in 1980. It is hoped that several other viruses, such as polio and measles, will follow.

Viruses: Viral Structure, Replication and Function Many viruses cause no harm or disease whatsoever. However, some viruses may attack certain cells and multiply within them. Once mature the daughter viruses break the cell and spread elsewhere. This is called a lytic infection.Eventually, if host immunity operates effectively, the virus-infected cell may be killed by the host, leading to interruption of the virus cycle and cure of the infection. special category of viruses is those that cause disease only when the immune system is deﬁcient in some way; these are called opportunists, and opportunistic infection is one of the main problems in patients with, for example, AIDS.

- vaccine typically contains both type A and type B viruses. For the inactivated (injectable) vaccine, the viruses . are inactivated (killed), purified, and packaged in vials or syringes. Live virus vaccine is packaged in a special nasal sprayer. About six months are required to produce influenza vaccine each year. How is the vaccine given?

- Viruses are capsules with genetic material inside. They are very tiny, much smaller than bacteria. Viruses cause familiar infectious diseases such as the common cold, flu and warts. They also cause severe illnesses such as HIV/AIDS, smallpox and hemorrhagic fevers. Viruses are like hijackers. They invade living, normal cells and use those cells to multiply and produce other viruses like themselves. This eventually kills the cells, which can make you sick. Viral infections are hard to treat because viruses live inside your body's cells. They are protected from medicines, which usually move through your bloodstream. Antibiotics do not work for viral infections.

- Most vaccines are designed to prevent illness and are given to people who are not sick. That is one reason that the bar of vaccine safety is set so high. To make vaccines as safe as possible, FDA requires extensive research and testing before allowing a vaccine to be licensed for general use.he DNA vaccine. couldn’t cause the disease because it wouldn’t contain. bacterium X, just copies of a few of its genes. In addition, DNA vaccines are relatively easy and inexpensive to. design and produce. DNA vaccines use a microbe’s genetic material, in particular, the genes that code for important antigens.

- Antigen vaccines. Antigen vaccines use specific proteins or parts of proteins (antigens) from the surface of cancer cells to stimulate the immune system to fight these cells. Cancer cell antigens are sometimes mixed with substances to help the vaccine work better.These substances are called adjuvants. vaccine stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies to fight a disease. Most vaccines are used to prevent infectious diseases caused by viruses, such as the flu, measles or polio. Cancer vaccines are used to: 1  prevent a cancer from developing (prophylactic, or preventive, vaccine).

Vaccines (immunizations) - overview Live virus vaccines use the weakened (attenuated) form of the virus. The measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and the varicella (chickenpox) vaccine are examples. Killed (inactivated) vaccines are made from a protein or other small pieces taken from a virus or bacteria. The flu vaccine is an example.

Childhood Vaccines: What is in the Vaccines and Why The MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine and the influenza (flu) vaccines contain egg protein. Egg protein is present in these vaccines because the viruses used to make them are grown in eggs (flu vaccine) or in cells taken from eggs (MMR vaccine).himerosal is a mercury-containing preservative that is in the flu vaccine in small amounts to prevent bacterial and fungal growth. If a person received a vaccine contaminated with bacteria or fungi, they could get sick.

Weaken the virus Several vaccines are made by taking toxins and inactivating them with a chemical (the toxin, once inactivated, is called a toxoid). By inactivating the toxin, it no longer causes disease. The diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccines are made this way. Another strategy to make a bacterial vaccine is to use part of the sugar coating (or polysaccharide) of the bacteria. Protection against infection by certain bacteria is based on immunity to this sugar coating (and not the whole bacteria).

Vaccine A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular disease. A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing micro-organism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins or one of its surface proteins.he World Health Organization (WHO) reports that licensed vaccines are currently available to prevent or contribute to the prevention and control of twenty-five infections. The terms vaccine and vaccination are derived from Variolae vaccinae (smallpox of the cow), the term devised by Edward Jenner to denote cowpox.
