Viruses
Viruses are microscopic infectious agents that are smaller than bacteria and consist of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein coat called a capsid. Viruses lack the cellular machinery for metabolism and reproduction and depend on host cells to replicate. They infect various organisms, including animals, plants, fungi, bacteria(bacteriophages), and archaea. Viral infections can cause a range of diseases in their hosts, from mild illnesses like the common cold to more severe conditions such as influenza, HIV/ AIDS, and COVID- 19
Cancer
Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled division and growth of abnormal cells that can invade and damage surrounding tissues. It can occur in virtually any part of the body. Cancer cells may form a mass or lump known as a tumor, and they can spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. Cancer is caused by genetic mutations that accumulate over time, and these mutations may be triggered by various factors, including exposure to carcinogens, genetic predisposition, and certain infections. The development of cancer involves complex interactions between genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
