Virus: is a biological agent that reproduces inside the cells of living hosts. When infected, a host cell produces thousands of identical copies of the original virus at an extraordinary rate.
Since the outbreak of CoVID-19 in Wuhan, China last December, the medical professional community have accumulated numerous experience that potentially will benefit other regions battling the...
Humans are susceptible to many life-threatening viruses such as HIV, influenza and Ebola. The current coronavirus pandemic is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-...
