Solution
The Rabies virus would not directly affect immune system cells. While it is an infectious agent, it primarily affects the nervous system, not the immune system. The Epstein-Barr virus, Measles virus, and Human T cell lymphotropic virus all have direct effects on immune system cells. Epstein-Barr virus can cause mononucleosis and is associated with certain types of cancer. Measles virus can lead to a weakened immune system and complications such as pneumonia. Human T cell lymphotropic virus can lead to a type of cancer known as adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.
