Microbial pollution is an environmental problem and during the past decades microbial pollution has been increasing and is considered an important issue in food security. Microbial pollution is a serious issue because it can lead to a wide range of health problems. A great number of foodborne diseases and outbreaks are reported in which contamination of fresh produce and animal products occurs from polluted sources with pathogenic bacteria, viruses and protozoa. 1, record 1, English, - microbial%20pollution

Antigenic shift occurs when major changes in genetic material have occurred. This usually occurs when cells are infected with two different strains of influenza virus at the same time. This co-infection is of concern when it involves viruses from different species(human, avian, swine, or equine). Because of the segmented RNA [ribonucleic acid] in the virus(8 genes) movement of genes from one virus to another are possible. This antigenic shift can then create a new hybrid virus which can become pathogenic to a different species. 1, record 8, English, - hybrid%20virus

Il ne suffit pas à un virus aviaire d'être enveloppé d'antigènes inconnus par les populations humaines, faut-il encore qu'il soit doué d'une bonne capacité à se répliquer chez leur nouvel hôte potentiel. C'est exactement ces deux propriétés que peuvent posséder les virus hybrides issus d'un réassortiment entre deux virus parentaux : l'un humain et l'autre aviaire selon le principe suivant. À l'occasion d'une co-infection d'un porc, par exemple, avec un virus humain et un virus d'oiseau, les brins d'ARN [acide ribonucléique] étant physiquement indépendants, il peut se former une particule virale hybride. Ce virus hybride ou virus réassortant, qui se forme au moment du bourgeonnement à la fin du cycle viral, peut emprunter les gènes «internes d'adaptation» à l'homme et les gènes H [hémagglutinine] et/ou N [neuraminidase] du virus d'oiseau. Dans ce phénomène, il y a changement complet d'une molécule de surface telle que l'hémagglutinine. Ce virus réassortant, «humain» dedans et «oiseau» dehors, cumule l'avantage de pouvoir se répliquer chez l'homme et celui de ne pas rencontrer de défense spécifique contre lui car les H et N aviaires ne correspondent pas aux anticorps qui préexistent dans les populations humaines. C'est alors un virus nouveau pour l'homme qui est potentiellement capable de provoquer une épidémie majeure au niveau mondial ou pandémie. 3, record 8, French, - virus%20hybride

A real difference in pathogenicity between HIV-1 and HIV-2 could be significant, and it would be important to determine its molecular basis. The two viruses infect the same populations of cells, binding the same CD4 receptor, but there are some differences in their genetic material and therefore in proteins. One of the most obvious is the presence in HIV-1 of the vpu gene, which is absent in HIV-(and in SIV, for that matter). Perhaps the product of this gene, a small 16-kilodalton peptide, enpathogenicity. Similarly, HIV-2 and SIV contain the vpx gene; HIV-1 does not. If this gene's 12-kilodalton product somehow slows the proliferation or spread of the virus or reduces its ability cells, that too could help to explain why HIV-2 and SIV appear to be less regularly pathogenic than HIV-1. 1, record 9, English, - vpx%20gene
