Brief Introdcution
Infection is the invasion of a host organism’s bodily tissues by disease-causing organisms, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to these organisms and the toxins they produce. Infections are caused by infectious agents such as viruses, viroids, and prions, microorganisms such as bacteria, nematodes such as roundworms and pinworms, arthropods such as ticks, mites, fleas, and lice, fungi such as ringworm, and other macro-parasites such as tapeworms. Hosts can fight infections using their immune systems.
Mammalian hosts react to infections with an innate response, often involving inflammation, followed by an adaptive response. Pharmaceuticals can also help fight infections.
The branch of medicine that focuses on infections and pathogens is known as infectious disease medicine.
TYPES OF INFECTION
From an epidemiological point of view, BVD virus is extremely successful. It occupies a special place among viral pathogens thanks to its worldwide distribution and high rate of infection. Its success is due to a combination of two well-known strategies, the “hit-and-run” strategy and the “infect-and persist” strategy. Both of these strategies are popular among viruses, however, they are rarely used in combination.
