48
Q

Togavirus
replication
2 phases of translation

A

-first produce early proteins
and then late proteins
-like coronavirus

49
Q

Figure 63-2 Replication of a togavirus. Semliki Forest virus. 1, Semliki Forest virus binds to cell receptors
and is internalized in a coated vesicle. 2, On acidification of the endosome, the viral envelope fuses with
the endosomal membrane to release the nucleocapsid into the cytoplasm. 3, Ribosomes bind to the
(1) RNA genome, and the p230 or p270 (full-length) (2). 4, The
polyproteins are cleaved to produce nonstructural proteins 1 to 4 (NSP1 to NSP4), which include a
polymerase to transcribe the genome into a (3) RNA template. 5, The template is used to
produce a (4) for the structural proteins.
6, The C (capsid) protein is translated first, exposing a protease cleavage site and then a signal peptide
for association with the endoplasmic reticulum. 7, The E glycoproteins are then synthesized,
glycosylated, processed in the Golgi apparatus, and transferred to the plasma membrane. 8, The capsid
proteins assemble on the 42S genomic RNA and then associate with regions of cytoplasmic and plasma
membranes containing the E1, E2, and E3 spike proteins. 9, Budding from the plasma membrane releases
the (5).

Q

Rubella virus (2)

A

Member of Togavirus family
Rubivirus genus
but not arthropod-borne

51
Q

Rubella =

A

German measles
one of the 5 childhood exanthems
(along with measles, roseola, chickenpox,
and fifth disease)

52
Q

Figure 63-6 Spread of rubella virus within the host.

A

Rubella enters and infects the nasopharynx and lung and then spreads to the lymph nodes and monocytemacrophage system. The resulting viremia spreads the virus to other tissues and the skin. Circulating antibody can block the transfer of virus at the indicated
points (X). In an immunologically deficient pregnant woman, the virus can infect the placenta and spread to the fetus.

53
Q 
Flaviviruses
characteristics (2)
A

plus stranded RNA (single linear molecule)

enveloped

54
Q

Figure 63-4 Disease syndromes of the alphaviruses and flaviviruses.

A

Primary viremia may be associated with mild systemic disease. Most infections are
limited to this. If sufficient virus is produced during the secondary viremia to escape immune protection and to reach critical target tissues, severe systemic
disease or encephalitis may result. For dengue virus, rechallenge with another strain can result in severe dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), which can cause
dengue shock syndrome (DSS) because of the loss of fluids from the vasculature.

55
Q

Zika virus (a Flavivirus) (3)

A

mostly mild illness (Zika fever) except for congenital infection of fetus,
which leads to microcephaly and other birth defects
transmitted by mosquitos from person to person (most common)

also transmitted sexually

generally not a zoonosis
when partial immunity exists due to prior infection

57
Q

generally not a zoonosis:

A

transmitted by mosquitos from person to person

58
Q

when partial immunity exists due to prior infection (4)

A 
dengue hemorrhagic shock (DHS)
dengue shock syndrome (DSS)
due to immune enhancement
virus forms immune complex/readily enter macrophages

A

weakening and rupture of vasculature, internal bleeding, loss of plasma.
