A researcher in 2024 studies the evolutionary relationships between influenza viruses by comparing the genomic sequences of the
viruses found in pigs, ducks, and humans in a given year. When evaluating the viruses that had infected these hosts the previous year, she identifies a cross-species transfer from pigs to ducks in the year 2022. What information supports the hypothesis that cross-species transfer leads to more severe disease in the new host
Influenza, commonly known as flu, is a viral infectious disease caused by different types of influenza viruses. Some of the most common symptoms of this disease include, among others, headache, coughing, fever, muscle pain, etc. Influenza viruses can affect humans and different animals such as, for example, cats, dogs, birds and horses. There is evidence showing cross-species influenza virus transmission. For example, it has been shown that the influenza type A virus can be transmitted from one species to another (for example, between humans and pigs). In these cases, cross-species transmission information may indicate how much potential a virus has to cause a pandemic in the new host by analyzing the severity and infectivity of the virus in the original host.
<h3>Sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda or bicarbonate of soda, is a chemical compound with the formula NaHCO₃. It is a salt composed of a sodium cation and a bicarbonate anion. Sodium bicarbonate is a white solid that is crystalline, but often appears as a fine powder.</h3>
the organ systems also work together to help the body maintain homeostasis. ... If body temperature rises, blood vessels in the skin dilate, allowing more blood to flow near the skin's surface. This allows heat to dissipate through the skin and into the surrounding air
