3. Flannery O’Connor maintained that her perspective as a writer was that of a Christian and that her stories were to be read as expressions of Christian beliefs.

Use the slides to answer these two questions in paragraph form:
1. Use Google to find a virus that infects turkeys.  Is this virus a DNA virus or RNA virus?  Is it single stranded or double stranded?  Does it have an envelope?  How is it transmitted?  Besides turkey, what other animals can this virus attack? 
2. For the virus you find above, does it go through lytic cycle or lysogenetic cycle?  What is the reasoning for your answer?  What are the steps of its replication (refer to this week’s slides)?  What are the possible ways for that virus to enter and exit cells of a pig (please reason based on info from this week’s slides)?  If you raise turkeys on a farm, how would you treat your infected birds and protect the uninfected?  How can you disinfect your facility effectively without spending much money?
