In contrast, the Varicella Zoster causes chickenpox and is commonly referred to as the Herpes Virus. The Variola Major causes smallpox, and Variola Minor virus is commonly referred to as the Pox Virus. While both smallpox and chickenpox are viral diseases, their causative agents are different. Here are the differences between chickenpox and smallpox: However, they are different infections that have vastly different outcomes. It is normal to wonder if chickenpox and smallpox are related because they have similar names and may exhibit similar symptoms. What Are The Differences Between Smallpox and Chickenpox? Though they sound similar chickenpox and monkeypox are two totally different unrelated diseases.
There are a few studies which imply that the RH factor holds a resistance to certain diseases of viral origin (one of them being smallpox), though it’s hard to say definitively.
#If you have a negative blood type are you rh negative full#
It’s hard to know if you/me/us might have a resistance to small/monkeypox, I also believe it may depend on whether you have no, part or a full CCR5 mutation (CCR5-D32 allele) which many rh- seem to possess. They are totally different viruses so if you caught one, the resistance does not crossover to the other or can it be a determining factor on whether you have a resistance to smallpox. In todays climate, I’m happy to be just RH negative and enjoy the protection that it may offer no matter the typing. I believe the whole RH negative blood grouping is fascinating, as yet I’m not prepared to say one “type” is better or more advantageous than the other. I tend to believe that protection is not limited to just males, instead when considering previous studies a protective trend to certain diseases seems to be offered to both RH- males and females, regardless of typing. “Rhesus negative males have an enhanced IFNγ-mediated immune response to influenza A virus” If we start implying that one blood type is “best”, going by the below study does that mean RH negative men are “best” at fighting off Influenza A virus?
“Biologists Discover Why 10 Percent Of Europeans Are Safe From HIV Infection” I personally believe genetics (within the RH negative typing) come into play more then blood type (O,A,B, AB) such as the CCR5 mutation (CCR5-D32 allele) found prevalent in certain populations (Europeans etc), it is also rumoured to go hand in hand with RH- blood groups (much higher frequency of the mutation) & not necessarily the blood type, it can be inherited off either one parent or stronger if off both. IMO there is no “best” blood type within the RH negative blood group (in-fact each may offer different benefits) and we need to be carful claiming one over the other.
