1445 examples of Virus in a sentence

This challenge has been particularly difficult because of the nature of the virus, particularly its ability to integrate itself into the genome of host cells, to readily mutate, and to conceal that part of its outer coat that would induce protective antibodies.
We also know that the body’s natural immune response against HIV is inadequate in containing or controlling the virus.
Indeed, since the discovery of HIV, there has never been a documented case in which an individual’s immune system has ever completely eradicated the virus following established infection.
Many current studies focus on developing vaccines that might not completely prevent HIV infection, but that still could slow the progression of HIV or make a person less likely to pass the virus on to others.
Beyond stories of hospitals in conflict zones being bombed, the Zika virus emerged as a growing threat.
Hopes for a respiratory syncytial virus vaccine were dashed.
Shingles, a viral disease characterized by a painful skin rash with blisters, is caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus within a person’s body.
Beyond PandemicsNEW YORK – The World Health Organization has now officially declared the H1N1 flu virus to be a global pandemic.
The speed with which the H1N1 virus has spread to almost every continent highlights our mutual interdependence.
We must remain on guard against changes in the virus.
A rapid and determined response could have done much to contain the virus.
The shortage of health workers, facilities, and supplies prevented many people from receiving treatment, allowing the virus to spread further.
The tiny virus that causes influenza is a leading-edge example of technical developments.
Today, when a new strain of influenza appears in Asia, scientists collect a throat swab, isolate the virus, and run the strain’s genetic sequence.
If they then post that strain’s sequence on the Internet, American and European laboratories may be able to synthesize the new virus from the downloaded data faster and more easily than if they wait for a courier to deliver a physical sample.
The virus can spread faster electronically than it does in nature.
The impact of the Zika virus on public health is greater in Brazil than anywhere else.
In the absence of other financing options, existing development funding is often siphoned off to mount an emergency education response, as happened in the areas afflicted by the Ebola virus and the Nepal earthquake.
HIV presents perhaps the greatest challenge, because the virus leverages its extensive genetic variability to hide from the immune system.
Using recent advances, however, scientists have now identified highly conserved regions of this variable virus, determined their molecular structure, and begun designing next-generation vaccine candidates to elicit antibodies that target these regions to prevent HIV infection.
For example, it is known that viral respiratory tract infections in infancy such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are associated with an increased risk of asthma in later childhood and that paracetamol use for such episodes could have caused confounding in the study.
Since the 1980s, an international vaccination effort led by the World Health Organization has driven the virus to the cusp of extinction.
Indeed, the few areas where the virus continues to hold out share worrying similarities.
If the virus is to be defeated, we will have to move beyond caricatures of Islamists as violent zealots opposed to Western science and look closely at the specific political contexts in which the eradication effort has so far been unsuccessful.
Liver cancer, which is associated with hepatitis, and cervical cancer, associated with human papilloma virus infection, are prominent examples.
A vaccine against hepatitis B virus is proving to be effective in reducing the incidence of liver cancer.
Rapid and specific diagnostic tests for the human papilloma virus are supplementing traditional Pap tests, helping to identify women at risk for cervical cancer.
Achieving Universal Health Coverage in AfricaBRAZZAVILLE – Three years ago, a young boy in rural Guinea fell victim to the Ebola virus.
The danger is that we become so infected with the apocalyptic virus that we end up creating a real catastrophe – the meltdown of our economies and lifestyles – in order to avoid an imaginary one.
To understand the scale of the threat we face, look no further than the “WannaCry” virus that, among other things, almost shut down the British National Health Service this past May.
