(2) Reoviridae Flashcards
Meaning of REO in REOVIRIDAE
Respiratory Enteric Orphan (REO) Viruses
REOVIRUSES can be isolated from?
respiratory tract or the enteric tract
why is it termed as Respiratory Enteric ORPHAN viruses
Termed as “orphan” since it is not associated with a
specific disease
important genera udnder REOVIRIDAE
- Rotavirus
- Coltivirus
- Orbivirus
- Orthoreoviruses
General Characterisrtic of REOVIRIDAE
- Icosahedral
- 60-80 nm
- Double capsid shell (EXCEPT the rotavirus which has a triple-layered shell)
- Segmented
- double-stranded RNA
where does the REOVIRIDAE replicate?
Cytoplasmic replication
REOVIRIDAE are extremely stable in what sense?
- Heat Resistant
- Infectioous at a wide range of pH: 3.0 - 9.0
- Resistant to lipid solvent
what lipid solvents are the REOVIRIDAE resistant with?
ether and
chloroform
REOVIRIDAE are inactivated by?
- 95% ethanol
- phenol
- chlorine
Reoviridae - Replication
The virus will attach to the cell surface through the cell
surface receptors through the ?
viral hemagglutinin (σ1
protein)
Reoviridae - Replication
a minor component of the outer capsid of the virus
viral hemagglutinin (σ1
protein)
Reoviridae - Replication
after attachment what is the next process
penetration and uncoating of the first layer
Reoviridae - Replication
penetration and uncoating of the first layer →
core will be released and morphogenesis will occur
Reoviridae - Replication
what will occur along with the releasing of core and morphogenesis
translation and transcription
Reoviridae - Replication
The mature virion will be released secondary to?
Cell lysis
