A change in DNA that can lead to genetic disorders and increase the risk of disease
Environmental Factor
Pollutants,radiation, or certain chemicals in the environment can contribute to the development of disease
Lifestyle Choice
Poor diet, inadequate exercise, and unhealthy habits can increase the risk of disease and its progression
Trauma
Physical injury or emotional stress can trigger disease or make existing conditions worse
Pneumonia
Bacterial or viral infection of the lungs
Tuberculosis
Bacterial infection of the lungs or other parts of the body
Malaria
Parasitic infection transmitted by mosquitoes
Sickle Cell Anemia
Genetic disorder of the hemoglobin gene
Cystic Fibrosis
Genetic disorder affecting the lungs and digestive system
Muscular Dystrophy
Genetic disorder affecting the muscles
Cancer
Tumor caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors
Asthma
Chronic inflammatory disease affecting the airways
Diabetes
Metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels
Obesity
Clinical condition marked by excess body fat
PTSD
Mental health disorder triggered by traumatic events
Infection
Condition caused by the presence of germs in the body
Chronic Pain
Persistent pain that lasts beyond the normal healing process
Bacterial Infection
Bacterial microorganisms that are single-celled, transmitted through contaminated food,water, or contact with an infected person, cause sudden onset of symptoms like fever,chills, and pain, and are often treated with antibiotics
Viral Infection
Small particles made of genetic material, transmitted through contact with infected people, contaminated surfaces, or bodily fluids, often cause milder symptoms like headache,fatigue, and coughing, and are often treated with antiviral medications or supportive care
Host Cell Reprogramming
Process where viruses hijack the host cell's machinery to replicate, using the cell's DNA and protein-building machinery to produce new viral particles
Translation and Transcription
Viral process where genetic material is translated into proteins and transcribed into RNA using the host cell's machinery
Assembly and Release
Viral process where newlysynthesized viral proteins and genetic material are assembled into new viral particles, which are then released from the host cell through lysis, budding, or release from a cellular structure
