The Deadliest and Most Horrible Diseases That Shock the World
These diseases are not just killer plagues, they’re the deadliest and most horrible diseases that have damaged human life. Indeed, these horrible diseases have left the world in awe!
You may have read on my previous articles on The most horrible diseases ever to tremble the world, The most horrible diseases ever to tremble the world 2 (or “weirdest and horrible diseases you never seen before”), The most horrible diseases ever to tremble the world 3 (which presents you some bizarre, odd and unbelievable tumors), and The Most horrible diseases ever to tremble the world 4 (somewhat unusual: The Most Disturbing Deformations and Abnormalities in Human History) and now this article is the fifth series of these dreadful and horrible diseases. In this series, I’ll focus on some highly contagious viruses that cause deadliest and horrible diseases.
Viruses are microbes that are smaller than any bacteria. Typically, viruses are composed of a core of either RNA or DNA surrounded by a protein coat. Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) for example, consists of one single long RNA molecule (6,000 nucleotides) surrounded by a cylindrical protein coat (2130 pieces of the same coat protein), while T4 bacteriophage consists of a DNA molecule which is tightly packed into one protein head.
These viruses cause a number of diseases in humans, and they’re found to be a main culprit for diseases such as the common cold, rabies, Ebola, hanta fever, herpes, shingles, influenza, rabies, H1N1, AIDS, HPV, polio, smallpox, SARS and etc.
Outside the host cells, they exist as capsid, a protein coat or sometimes enclosed within a membrane. They rely very much on the infected host cells to reproduce by inserting their genetic entities into the host. Simply put, they take over the host’s function by instructing the infected cells to produce more genetic material and viral protein. Some viruses are observed to embed their genomes into the DNA of the host cell and are replicated along with the host cell’s DNA or they may remain dormant inside host cells for longer periods without creating any significant change in the host cells (also known as the lysogenic phase), while in a stage of lytic phase, new viruses are created, and later, they burst out of the host cell to both kill and infect other surrounding cells.

wonderful article Chan. People need to be aware of these diseases, how they operate, and how they are transmitted. The only way to break the cycle of infection…..is to understand how it works.

Scary stuff, If we thought too much on these horrible diseases it would blow our minds. Most of us never get them but we should be aware they are with us and take precautions.

Good work and very interesting to read. I wonder what the next major [or minor] disease will be after the current one which is the H1N1 ? Got any thoughts on what it will be?

Some of these people say that your articles are so very interesting, and they do catch the eye for their wonderful use of language and pictures. I wonder, however, how so many people believe all of this? If you really think that sourcing a few photos and copy / pasting a few pictures helps your articles, so be it. Try though to get some other doctors to source your site for help though, not just a few google tags.
