24 - DNA Viruses Part 1 (Stapleton) Flashcards
naked DNA viruses
papilloma
parvoviridae
adenoviridae
enveloped DNA viruses
herpesvirus
hepadnavirus
poxviridae
herpesvirus characteristics
large dsDNA icosahedral enveloped establish lifelong latency in host severe disease in immunocompromised 8 types
entry of herpesvirus
receptor mediated fusion of envelope with plasma membrane
transcription of herpes virus
Intermediate early-start transcription
early genes-replication
late genes-structural genes
lytic life cycle DNA synthesis
nucleoside kinase phosphorylates nucleoside needed for DNA transcription
DNA polymerase transcribes new viral DNA
herpes replicates episomally
independent of host chromosome
herpes egress
assembly in nucleus
traverse nuclear membrane
enter golgi body and traffic to plasma membrane to leave cell
herpes latency
viral lytic gene is turned off
latent gene is turned on-highly restricted, only a few genes
latent and lytic viruses are different population of cells
herpes pathogenesis
transmission contact with secretions
lytic replication in cells
virus passed to population for latency and maintained in these cells for remainder of hosts life
HSV-1
common worldwide
spread by close contact
asymptomatic and symptomatic sheddin
HSV-1 infection
initially at epithelial cells at mucocutaneous surfaces
spread to sensory nerves
ascend axons to nearest ganglion
cold sore latency where
trigeminal gangion
HSV-1 reinfection
traffic down sensory neuron to infect epithelial cells at original infection
lytic infection
epidermal destruction
HSV-1 symptoms of primary infection
asymptomatic primary gingivostomatits ocular herpes herpetic whitlow genital herpes
HSV-1 pathology
diagnostic
multinucleated giant cells
inclusion bodies
HSV-1 symptoms of reinfection
asymptomatic cold sore herpes keratitis herpetic whitlow herpes encephalitis genital lesion
HSV-1 in immune deficiency
severe and long lived disease
visceral disease
encephalitis
HSV-2 characteristics
worldwide
less prevalent than HSV-1
spread sexually
HSV-2 latency
in spinal gangion
HSV-2 primary infection
asymptomatic
genital herpes
neonatal herpes
primary gingivostomatits
