10 examples of viruses that cause diseases?
818210
Examples of common human diseases caused by viruses include the common cold, the flu, chickenpox and cold sores. Serious diseases such as Ebola, AIDS, bird flu and SARS are all also caused by viruses. The relative ability of viruses to cause disease is described in terms of virulence. Other diseases are under investigation as to whether they too have a virus as the causative agent, such as the possible connection between Human Herpesvirus Six (HHV6) and neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis and chronic fatigue syndrome. Recently it was also shown that cervical cancer is partially caused by papillomavirus, representing evidence in humans of a link existing between cancer and an infective agent[4]. There is current controversy over whether the borna virus, previously thought of as causing neurological disease in horses, could be responsible for psychiatric illness in humans[5].\n\nViruses have many different mechanisms by which they produce disease in an organism, which largely depends on the species. Mechanisms at the cellular level primarily include cell lysis, the breaking open and subsequent death of the cell. In multicellular organisms, if enough cells die the whole organism will start to suffer the effects. Although many viruses result in the disruption of healthy homeostasis, resulting in disease, they may also exist relatively harmlessly within an organism. An example would include the ability of the herpes simplex virus, which cause coldsores, to remain in a dormant state within the human body.\n\nhope this helps

Syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia are all three caused by bacterium.  Syphilis is not viral as mentioned above.\n\nHIV (AIDS), HPV (Genital warts), HSV-1/HSV-2 (Herpes) are viral as well as some others.

all viruses work by taking over the reproductive mechanism of cells and making them manufacture copies of themselves.  Frequently the viral cells put out toxins that cause various illnesses.  "Stomach" viruses do this in the GI tract.

Bacteria are tiny microorganisms that have a cell wall, a ring of DNA, and some ribosomes.\n\nViruses are extremely small packets of DNA wrapped in a protein coat. They don't contain much more than that and can't survive nor replicate on their own.\n\nBacterial STDs are caused by bacteria. Bacteria can be killed with antibiotics.\n\nViral STDs are caused by viruses. Viruses cannot be killed with antibiotics, but many viral illnesses can be prevented with vaccines.\n\nBacterial STDs include: gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis\nViral STDs include: HIV, herpes, genital warts, hepatitis B

Adenovirus\n\nA group of viruses responsible for a spectrum of respiratory disease as well as infection of the stomach and intestine (gastroenteritis), eyes (conjunctivitis), and bladder (cystitis) and rash. Adenovirus respiratory diseases include a form of the common cold, pneumonia, croup, and bronchitis. Patients with compromised immune systems are especially susceptible to severe complications of adenovirus infection. Acute respiratory disease (ARD), a disorder first recognized among military recruits during World War II, can be caused by adenovirus infections under conditions of crowding and stress.\n\nAdenoviruses are transmitted by direct contact, fecal-oral transmission, and occasionally waterborne transmission. Some types of adenoviruses are capable of establishing persistent asymptomatic infections in the tonsils, adenoids, and intestines. Shedding of the virus can occur for months or years after the initial infection.

Hi Curious\n\nHere are some answers.\n\nHerpes refers to a class of viral infections of both a sexual and nonsexual nature. There are actually over 70 different types of herpes, all of which are caused by one or more herpes viruses. Overall, herpes viruses are very common in the population at large. In fact, some health experts estimate that 90 percent of all Americans are infected by one or more strains of herpes virus.\n\nHerpes viruses, once they gain a foothold in the body, can remain dormant for years before symptoms manifest, usually after being triggered by stress to the immune system. In addition, symptoms can come and go, and even when symptoms are no longer noticeable, it does not necessarily mean that the viruses have been eradicated.\n\nTypes of Herpes\nAlthough there are more than 70 known herpes viruses, the two most common types of herpes are herpes simplex 1 (HSV1) and herpes simplex 2 (HSV2), or genital herpes. Herpes simplex 2 is a sexually transmitted disease, or STD, while herpes simplex 1 is often present in the body simply due to a weakened immune system, not as a result of sexual contact. Both types are very widespread among the population of the United States.\n\nCause\nHerpes is caused by one of more than 70 infectious herpes viruses. Outbreaks caused by herpes are most often triggered by physical or emotional stress that suppresses immune function. Nutritional deficiencies can also increase the risk of contracting herpes.\n\nQuick Action Plan for Herpes\n\n\n1. Emphasize fresh, organic foods, with plenty of non citrus fruits and vegetables, complex carbohydrates, free-range, organic meats and poultry, wild-caught fish, and an abundance of pure filtered water. \n\n2. Avoid all commercial, processed, and nonorganic food, as well as alcohol, coffee, sugars, artificial sweeteners, preservatives, food dyes, milk and dairy products, and wheat and wheat products. \n\n3. Avoid all arginine-rich foods, including all nuts, sunflower and sesame seeds, coconut, chocolate, wheat and wheat byproducts, soy, lentils, oats, corn, rice, barley, tomatoes, and squash. \n\n4. Be screened for food allergies. \n\n5. Supplement with vitamin A, B-complex, vitamin B5, vitamin B6, vitamin C, zinc, adrenal glandular extract, quercitin, and the amino acid lysine. \n\n6. Drink plenty of organic, fresh-squeezed carrot, celery and beet juice. \n\n7. Apply salves of aloe vera gel or calendula cream. \nHot baths if you can tolerate them, followed with a short cold bath or sitz bath. Do this daily. \n\n8. A useful herbal remedy for herpes is to combine tinctures of Echinacea, goldenseal, nettle and Siberian ginseng in equal measures. Take half a teaspoon three times a day to boost immune function. \n\n9 Take precautions when you are in an outbreak to avoid spreading the virus to others. \nTo ensure you are following the most effective treatment plan, work with a qualified holistic health professional. \n\n\n\nPrevention Guidelines\nAs with all sexually transmitted diseases, the most effective response to chlamydia is prevention. To avoid herpes, do the following:\n\n\n1. Be careful about choosing a sex partner and find out about his or her health and sexual history before engaging in a sexual relationship. Have sex only if the person has no apparent signs of infection and is willing to assure your protection during sexual intimacy. Be prepared to talk and inquire about past experiences. Be direct and persistent. Make conversations about health a natural part of the sexual relationship. \n\n2. Limit the number of people you have sex with. The risk of contracting an STD rises exponentially in direct relation to how many sexual partners you have. \n\n3. Avoid sex altogether if your partner exhibits open lesions or swelling on his or her body. \n\n4. Always practice safe sex. Men should always use a latex condom, especially when engaging in sex with someone new. As an alternative, women can consider the use of a latex female condom. When e
