West Nile virus (WNV) causes epidemics of febrile illness, meningitis, encephalitis, and flaccid paralysis. Since it was first detected in New York City in 1999, and through 2004, 16,000 WNV disease cases have been reported in the United States. Over the past 5 years, research on WNV disease has expanded rapidly. This review highlights new information regarding the virology, clinical manifestations, and pathology of WNV disease, which will provide a new platform for further research into diagnosis, treatment, and possible prevention of WNV through vaccination.

The appropriate answer is b. turgor pressure. Turgor pressure is also known as hydrostatic pressure and is the force of the water inside the cell of the plant that pushes the cell membrane against the cell wall. When this force is strong the cell or the plant is said to be turgid. This pressure is maintained by the process of osmosis. Plants react differently to the stimulus of light. They will grow or turn leaves towards light.
The process in which oxygen atoms are made available to the cell of animals is called cell respiration. In cell respiration the food molecules undergo process which is called food oxidization, that make it available to be absorbed by the animal cell.
