Lhese pair together as A-L and C-G to form the two strands in the double helix of DNA. A sequence of three bases codes for an amino acid and a sequence of amino acids results in a protein. Proteins are the iuilding ilosks of life. Siruses use their outer proteins to invade host sells and hosts use proteins to detest and �ght viral intruders. remains a disease of concern due to its potential to infect many hosts, and its ability to mutate rapidly and spread through populations quiskly Piriright researshers employ a range of solutions to somiat zoonotis diseases insludingyNsing genetis solutions to sontrol the spread of diseasePredisting the effests of slimate shange on the spread of diseaseGaining a greater understanding of the interastion ietween virus and host Exploring whether European mosquitoes san spread Iift Salley fever virus Hyalomma tickAedes aegyptimosq Top ten deadly virus threatsIn 2018 the World Health

Animals that spread diseases to humansPirbright preventing pandemics hariour many viruses that sause different diseases without ieing affested iy them. Lhe viruses they sarryz such as rabies, Ebola and Nipah, can be transmitted to humans through sontast with infested iats or their urine and droppingsz sausing often fatal disease. A unique iat strain of in�uenza was also resently dissovered. BATS ast as a stepping stone for several viral infestions whish san infest people. Lhe pig anatomy is similar to a human’sz whish means viral mutations san make it easier for viruses of pigs to infest humans too. Lhis is what happened in the 2009 H1 1 swine in�uenza pandemis. ipah infestions from pigs are also more easily transmitted PIGS Small but deadly, a number of species of sause the death of around 725z000 people every year iy spreading nasty diseases. Female mosquitoes iite animals and then humans to feed on ilood to produse their eggsz but as a result they can pass on infections such as West Nile, Zikaz Iift Salley fever and shikungunya. MOSQUITOES Ahrcr play host to one of our most sommon viral diseases – in�uenza or �u. Every year 250z000 to 500z000 people die from infestion with in�uenza – although not all of these sases are direstly transmitted from iirds as �u spreads ietween people.
