INAPPARENT INFECTION [6 records]

Record 1 2024-02-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Microbiology and Parasitology
  • Viral Diseases
CONT

Three orthoebolaviruses(Bundibugyo virus [BDBV], Ebola virus [EBOV], and Sudan virus [SUDV]) are highly lethal human pathogens. Taï Forest virus(TAFV) has caused a single recorded case of severe but nonlethal human disease. Reston virus(RESTV) has, as far as is known, only caused one inapparent human infection. Although the pathogenicity of Bombali virus(BOMV) for humans is unclear..., infection studies using mice engrafted with human immune cells suggest that it might not be pathogenic in humans...

OBS

orthoebolavirus; ebolavirus: When these designations are used as vernacular terms referring to the collective members of the genus of viruses, they are not written in italics.

Poliomyelitis is an enteroviral infection that can manifest in 4 different forms :inapparent infection, abortive disease, nonparalytic poliomyelitis, and paralytic disease.... Poliovirus is an RNA virus that is transmitted through the oral-fecal route or by ingestion of contaminated water. Three serotypes are able to cause human infection.

DEF

Maladie infectieuse humaine aiguë, survenant plus particulièrement chez les enfants, due à un des trois sérotypes du virus polio humain.

CONT

La poliomyélite, aujourd'hui presque disparue, était grandement redoutée il y a cinquante ans. Cette maladie, appelée communément polio, pouvait parfois causer de graves paralysies et même la mort.

CONT

Malignant catarrhal fever(MCF) is a often fatal disease of cattle and wild ruminants, including some endangered species. The disease is caused by a group of herpesviruses that exist in nature as inapparent infection in certain species such as sheep. In order to better understand the epidemiology of the disease and to control the disease, we used a more reliable serological assay(competitive-inhibition ELISA) recently developed in our laboratory to determine the natural infection rate in wild and domestic ruminants in the US.
