This I.L.P. It aims to teach the concept of some viral diseases, the symptoms, the place of origin and the risks of each of them so that, adolescents are more informed about the subject, can speak properly and know how to differentiate if they have any symptoms. Also, it will help them to have more knowledge about the different viruses that have affected the world.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Infectious disease is a major disruptor of the pork industry. It can reduce production rates, trigger trade restrictions, and lead to large-scale mortality of the pigs themselves. Despite these serious impacts, the common diagnostic tools don’t capture the full range of potential pathogens, and the high rate of multiple pathogen co-infection further complicates diagnosis. Despite this, few studies have systematically characterized pig pathogens. To close this gap, researchers sequenced the microbial gene expression from pig clinical samples. This allowed researchers to characterize the diversity, abundance, genomes, and epidemiological history of a range of potential pathogens. They identified 34 RNA virus species, 9 DNA virus species, 7 bacterial species, and 3 fungal species as potential pathogens. Most were known pig pathogens, except for two of the fungi, which were novel members of the genus Pneumocystis..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.
