Studies were done to investigate the nature of the physicochemical forces, such as hydrophobic and electrostatic ones, involved in the interaction virus/matrix but, at this day, only few data are available concerning surface properties of viruses and prediction of the adhesion capacity of one specific virus onto matrices is still very difficult.
The main limitation of our study is the lack of surveillance in consecutive years, which could have biased results in case of an outbreak of one specific virus in a given year.
Moreover, it is still controversial whether there is a clear correlation for a specific virus or a clade of viruses.
ICN currently is seeking FDA approval of ribavirin as a remedy for one specific malady: respiratory syncytial virus, a potentially deadly lung condition that afflicts children under five.
Most antivirals target viral proteins and are specific for only one virus, or viral type.
The results suggest that the selection of specific virus variants might be one factor in FHB of newborns, although further structural and functional analysis of the virus strains and the individual immune system of the host is required.
Infection with one dengue virus results in immunity to that specific virus but not to the other three.
The presence or absence of specific virus infection was analysed.
HIV and Lyme disease are entirely different etiologically: HIV is a virus that suppresses the immune system over time, and Lyme is associated with one specific syphilis-like bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi, that for some infected individuals is easily curable and for others for reasons not at all to poorly understood, depending whom one asks persists for years, decades or potentially indefinitely.
The specific virus responses are then identified.
Thus, vector resistance could provide a wider range of protection than defenses directed solely against one virus or virus group.
