Answers:
1-a) Consists of a segmented genome.
These viruses are enveloped, non-segmented, negative-sense single-stranded RNA viruses.
2-d) Rabies virus
The most common route of transmission is through the bite of an infected animal, typically a dog, bat, or wild carnivore.The virus is neurotropic, meaning it primarily infects the nervous system, leading to encephalitis and, if untreated, is almost universally fatal once symptoms appear.
3-a) Rhinovirus
4-d) Humans
5-a) More than one serotype of the virus has been identified
6-d) Skin rashes
7-c) Rubella virus causes swelling of salivary glands
8-b) Babies
9-a) Children born to an unvaccinated mother are at higher risks
10-d) Enlarged salivary glands
11-b) It is available only in a monovalent form
12- a) Salivary glands
13-b) False
14-c) Low cost and easily available
15-c) Human parainfluenza virus
16-a) 1971
17-b) 12 months to 12 years old
18-d) Chickenpox
19-c) Encephalitis ( infection in the brain)
20-a) 1 to 2 weeks
At the end of the day, you need to ask yourself whether not getting vaccinated is a risk you are willing to take. Japanese Encephalitis While other forms of tetanus are a serious disease, recovery is the norm.
