Coronavirus details you need to know but avoid the myths

          Coronavirus(COVID-19) ia an infectious disease caused by thr related viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In human it cause respiratory track syndrome that can range from mild to murderous. First of all lets know few different between bacterial and viral infections. Bacteria and virus are the most common causes of diseases in human. Bacteria are single cell organism which are found all around us. Most bacteria are not harmful among them some are protective. However some are harmful and cause diseases. On the other hand Virus are parasitic, which means the need a live host in order to prevail. Viruses invade the cell of living organism including human. Although all viruses are potentially harmful, some can actually be beneficial.

            Coronaviruses are the type of virus cause respiratory illness called as COVAID-19 which is a current pandemic in the worlds. Other coronaviruses can cause more serious diseases, including severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). Coronaviruses are named for their appearance: Under the microscope, the viruses look like they are covered with pointed structures that surround them like a corona, or crown.

Others names

Coronavirus

2019-nCoV acute respiratory diseases

Novel coronavirus

incubation period

2-14 days of exposure to virus.

21 days in some rare cases

Speciality

Infectious diseases

 

Symptoms

 

 

                              

Cough

Fever

Shortness of breadth

Muscle aches

Sore throat

Unexplained loss of taste and smell

Running nose

Causes

Sever acute respiratory syndrome

Risk factor

Travel

Viral exposure

Diagnostic method

rRT-PCR testing

CT Scan

Diagnosis may difficult because mild cause may similar to flu or bad cold.

 

 

 

Prevention

 

Hand washing frequently

Quarantine

Social Distancing

Avoid touching eyes, nose, mouth

Practice respiratory hygiene

If you have fever, cough, and difficult in breathing seek medical help early.

Self isolation if you have travel history

Using surgical mask

Medical officer and other stake holder should use PPE(Proper protecting equipment)

Formation of root nodules,Leghaemoglobin and Symbiotic nitrogen fixation

Rhizobia ha the ability to fix free atmospheric nitrogen of soil in nodules.They enter in the root through the soft root hair or epidermis by damaging them.In the first stage of infection the bacteria grow very profusely (rapidly)in the tip of the root hair and form the long filament in the root called infection thread.This thread reaches the endodermis and pericycle through cortex.Cell of the cortex area goes on dividing  and  forms new nodules.This young nodules pushes the paranchyma and epidermis towards outside and form small swelling on the surface of root.The size pf root nodule vary according to the plant and their occurrence .It is not necessary all the bacteria ,which infect the root produce nodules. According to Wipf and Cooper(1939) the root nodules always contains twice the number of chromosome as against of normal somatic tissue.If the root lack double number of chromosome ,their will be no formation of root nodules.If plant do not have root nodule it cannot perform symbi

Biofertilizer and Cyano bacteria as biofertilizer

Biofertilizer:           Biofertilizer is a substances which contain living microorganisms which ,when applied to seed,plant surface or soil ,colonize the interior part of plant and promotes growth by increasing the supply of all nutrient for plantand  helps in increasing the quality and quantity of plant. Cynobacteria as biofertilizer Isolation of BGA:           Algaligation it was japanese farmer who develop the technique for mass cultivation of BGA to be used as biofertilizer in paddy fields .Venkataraman(1961) coined the term algalization to denote the process of application of blue green algal culture in the field as biofertilizer.He iniated algaligation technology in india and demonstrate the way how this technology can be transferred to farmers . Preparation of starter culture:     First of all 5kg of surface paddy soil and water  were dilluted and kept in the tube containing fogg media maintaining the PH -7.Fogg media consist of K2Hpo4-0.2g/lit,MgSO4.7H2O-0.2g/lit,CaCl

Enzyme and mechanism for enzyme actions

Enzymes are the chemical catalysts that control verious biochemical reactions, without themselves being changed or utilized in the living beings . Beadle(1948) define enzyme as indispensable compound that play a key role in metabolism by bringing direction and control to the physiological process of living cells.Any change in enzyme component of living cell is immediately reflected changed in the physiological and biochemical process of cell. According to Fairley and Kilgour(1966) biological catalysts are called enzyme and with no known exception ,all enzymes are protein. Devlin(1970) also define the enzymes as organic catalysts which increase the rate of biochemical reactions.All enzymes are protein ,but all proteins are not enzyme . Most of the enzymes produced by all,function within that cell and hence are called intracellular or endoenzymes .However some enzyme are released by living cells and catalize reaction in the cell environment such enzyme are known as extracellular or e
