		Direct cell damage and death from viral infection may result from (1) diversion of the cell's energy, (2) shutoff of cell macromolecular synthesis, (3) competition of viral mRNA for cellular ribosomes, (4) competition of viral promoters and transcriptional enhancers for cellular transcriptional factors such as RNA polymerases, and inhibition of the interferon defense mechanisms.
		Disease occurs only if the virus replicates sufficiently to damage essential cells directly, to cause the release of toxic substances from infected tissues, to damage cellular genes or to damage organ function indirectly as a result of the host immune response to the presence of virus antigens.
		Viral tropism is also dictated in part by the presence of specific cell transcription factors that require enhancer sequences within the viral genome.

	Communicable Disease Fact Sheet
		Viral meningitis is an infection of the meninges (a thin lining covering the brain and spinal cord) by any one of a number of different viruses.
		Because a number of different viruses are capable of causing viral meningitis, the manner in which the virus is spread depends upon the type of virus involved.
		Since most cases are due to enteroviruses that may be passed in the stool, people diagnosed with viral meningitis should be instructed to thoroughly wash their hands after using the toilet.

		The major diseases of concern at this time were Phytophthora gummosis and root rot, and consequently trees were grafted onto the highly adaptable Phytophthora-resistant sour orange rootstock.

	Truth about SARS Infection - severe acute respiratory syndrome - atypical pneumonia - facts, symptoms and statistics
		By early April 2003, many countries were already deeply alarmed by cases in their hospitals of a highly infectious viral infection causing severe atypical pneumonia, striking suddenly, failing to respond to normal treatment and causing many sick people to die.
		Up until recently most deaths were in the elderly or those who were unwell from other causes, but recent deaths have included women in their 30s, while babies have become ill after women with SARS have given birth.
		Set against that we have a far better understanding of the disease than was the case with Spanish flu, far better monitoring and surveillance and greater global awareness.

	VHD FAQ
		VHD, which is short for Viral Hemorrhagic Disease of Rabbits, is an infectious viral disease that attacks the internal organs of rabbits, particularly the liver.
		Rabbits that recover from the disease can shed the virus for a month or longer; rabbits vaccinated against the disease are thought to be carriers as well.
		As a result, the disease is considered to be eradicated in Mexico--the last reported outbreak of VHD occurred there in 1992.

		However, natural disease due to the virus has been observed in a pigeon in Egypt (7), and inoculation of certain avian species (e.g., pigeons, chickens, ducks, gulls, and corvids) causes occasional encephalitis and death or long-term virus persistence (7,10,17,18).
