22 - Positive Strand RNA Viruses (Stapleton) Flashcards
+ strand RNA naked viruses
picornavirus
calicivirus
+ strand RNA enveloped virus
flavivirus
togavirus
retrovirus
coronavirus
picornavirus subgroups
rhinovirus-common cold
hep a-GI
enterovirus- GI (poliovirus, coxsackievirus)
lifecycle of picornavirus
attachment genome released into cytoplasm cell ribosomes bind genome and make polyprotein polyprotein is cleaved by viral protease RDRP creates - strand RNA RDRP copies - strand to make + strand caspid assembles particle released
picornavirus transmission
rhinovirus-respiratory droplets, secretions
enterovirus- fecal oral
respiratory
most common cause of URI
rhinovirus
rhinovirus
picornavirus replicate in URT does no t cause cytopathic effect weak and short lived immune response no antiviral or vaccine
poliovirus life cycle
mucosal surface lymph nodes viremia extraneural tissue retrograde to spinal cord
poliovirus causes
poliomyelitis
faccid paralysis
poliovirus treatment/prevention
no antiviral agents vaccination-3 doses inactivated (salk) attenuated (sabin)-not used in u.s. inactivated doesn't protects against GI infections
non polio enterovirus symptoms
GI pancreatitis fever rash hand-foot-mouth disease meningitis paralysis URI
hep a virus characteristics
picornavirus
highly stable
highly infectious
hep a treatment
no treatment but good vaccine
hep a symptoms
fecal oral spread, food borne
symptoms start 4 weeks after infection
fever, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, jaundice
jaundice is common in who that have hep a
more common in adults
uncommon in
test for hep a
high ALT-liver damage
IgM antibodies-acute disease
calicivirus and hep e characteristics
naked icosahedral non segmented very stable fecal oral person to person food borne
norwalk/norwalk like/norovirus
world wide
gastroenteritis
difficult to control because of stability
difficult to decontaminate
