Viral Chronicles: The Ever-Evolving Saga of COVID-19
Abstract: Coronaviruses, belonging to the family of RNA viruses, have recently captured global attention owing to their remarkable ability to infect a diverse array of species, ranging from animals to humans. These viral agents, recognized by their characteristic crown-like morphology when observed through electron microscopy, have a historical association with zoonotic diseases. Previous examples include Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV). The term "Corona" …

The Effects of HIV/AIDS Worldwide
Abstract: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which targets immune system conductors (CD4 cells), has infected millions throughout the world. HIV lowers the body's defences by infecting certain bodily fluids (blood, sperm, vaginal fluids, and breast milk) through unprotected sex, contaminated needles, or mother-to-child transmission. Early flu-like symptoms may go unrecognised, but if not treated, HIV advances to AIDS, which is characterised by severe immune system impairment. However, advances in antiretroviral therapy …

A Review on Unmasking Merkel Cell Polyomavirus: From Discovery to Cancer Driver
Abstract: Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is a small, non-enveloped, circular double-stranded DNA virus belonging to the Polyomaviridae family, first characterized in 2008. Epidemiological data suggest widespread exposure, with seroprevalence rates approaching 80% in adults. While primary infection is typically asymptomatic, rare integration events in Merkel cells can initiate oncogenesis, yielding Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), a neuroendocrine skin cancer with a five-year survival rate under 60%. This review integrates findings from six …
