I would go the WHO (World Health Organization) website, there you should be able to get timeline statistics.

Viruses enter your body from other bodily fluids, whether it be blood or saliva, excrement or vomit.  Viruses generally travel easier in the medium they affect, AIDS is blood-borne, and while it's possible a blood to blood transfer would infect you with a common cold or flu, it's generally spread by saliva. Generally viruses cannot survive for long outside of a host organism.\n\nYour body is under attack by viruses constantly, many times you will receive a virus and not even know because your body is able to fight it off before it can affect you. Besides the obvious, visible or physical symptoms of an infection, a doctor can test for anti-bodies to see if you've been infected. The main reason we give vaccinations is so your body can fight off a weakened or dead virus and learn to make the anti-bodies to defeat it for the next time you are infected by it. However some viruses can remain dormant for long periods of time and even tests cannot show their presence, since the viral load (amount of virus particles) is so low.  \n\nOn a side note, contrary to what was said above virus are NOT organisms. By the definitions of life it is not alive, technically it is an obligate intracellular parasite. This is for a few reasons, but the big ones are that they are not cellular based and they cannot reproduce (by themselves). They do share characteristics with living things, such as the use of DNA/RNA and the ability to evolve.

A portal is an entry.  Shopping portals are entry points to many web stores sites.  Some consider amazon.com a portal because of the many different stores and product types.

i can't really give you info as such, however your best bet is academic medical journals which are all about current researches in medicine and illnesses/diseases. You won't find this info on the net as it's confidential, and costly research. \nTo get you started you could try the BMJ (British Medical Journal)\nHope it helps.

A portal is a Web site that is designed to allow users to customize the content they get, based on their interests. It generally brings in a lot of information from a number of sources, and allows users to select that content.\n\nA Web site generally puts out the information it wants you to see.\n\nIt's the old "all beagles are dogs, but not all dogs are beagles" thing. Portals are a kind of Web site, but not all Web sites are portals.

ABLE-Hot Biology Websites. I love biology, especially microbiology and am always looking for good, interactive websites like this one. It has animations and images. I have saved it to my favourites to explore it further myself. Good Luck.
