Q

What is Antigenic shift

A

When multiple flu viruses get into a single cell, and the 8 segments get mixed up which results in a flu virus that humans have no immunity against

8
Q

What is antigenic drift

A

When a large number of mutations has occurred in the genome of a flu virus, causing it to be changed

antigenic shift causes a pandemic

antigenic drift causes a epidemic

22
Q

What is a primary infection of Herpes like

A

it is the initial herpes infection, usually in children, and its symptoms are sores around the mouth (chicken pox)

23
Q

What is a secondary infection of herpes

A

after the infection has gone into the latent stage (no symptoms) it will all the sudden come back to different areas of the body. the reemergence of the infection is the secondary infection (cold sores, mono, shingles)
