A Norovirus can be considered as a 30 nm in diameter spherical particle, made of protein and DNA·The Noroviruses are known to be

highly infective. As few as 10 viruses are enough to cause infection in a human. a) Suppose that an infected individual releases 5 cm3 of fluid containing 10% of Noroviruses by volume. Calculate the number of Noroviruses in this sample and the number of humans that could be infected with these viruses. What percentage of the human population on Earth (assumed 7 billion) could be infected? b) Could the virus spread around and infect all these humans only by diffusion? Calculate the diffusion coefficient and the time needed for one virus to diffuse to a length of 1 meter at 20°C (viscosity of water being 1.0x103 kg m s)?

If a single bacteriophage infects one E. coli cell present on a lawn of bacteria and, upon lysis, yields 175 viable viruses, how
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

9.378*10^8

Explanation:

The number of phages in each cycle = 175

The number of host infected in each cycle = 175

The number of phages released by each hosts in each turn  = 175

There are total 4 cycle .

So the total number of phages that exist in a single plaque if 3 more lytic cycles occur

= 175*175*175*175\\= 175^4\\= 9.378*10^8
