Corona-picorna-arbo viruses Flashcards
corona RNA/DNA? strand? envelope? agent of
+ strand RNA viruses
enveloped
SARS-CoV-2 is agent of COVID-19
what causes up to 30% common colds
corona virus
• SARS-CoV is agent of:
severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)= atypical pneumonia
middle east respiratory syndrome (MERS)
caued by?
mortality?
from?
caused by corona too
30-40 mortality
zoonoitc
corona virus life cyle
- adsorbed- spike pro bind receptor
- virus uncoated/ + RNA undergoes 1st translation= polyproteins formed and proteolysis occurs to form non-structural proteins and an RNA dependent RNA polymerase
- replicate transcriptase complex forms
- transcription and RNA replication occur
- products assemble to form nucleocapsid
- acquire membrane from budding at ER
- follow exocytosis path
clincal presentation of SARS Cov-2 infection
different severity?
asymptomatic
mild: sore throat, cough
moderate: some lower respiratory disease, lower O2
severe: SpO2 under 94%, PaO2/FiO2 under 300mmHg, respiratory freq under 30 breaths a minute/ lung infiltrates over 50%
critical: respiratory failure, spetic shock, organ dysfunction
entry of SARS-Cov 2 into cell
Spike protein will bind ACE2
spike then cleaved by TMPRSS2
effects of SARS CoV 2 entry
direct cytotoxic effect
dysregulation of RAAS due to downregulated ACE2: decreased cleavage of angiotensin I
endothelial cell damage and thromboinflammation
dysregulated immune response: virus can inhibit interferon signaling, t cell lyphodepletion, and production of inflammatory cytokines
COVID only effect pulmonary?
no, multiple systemic effects
Picornaviruses
DNA/RNA
envelope?
+ stranded RNA
no envelope
Picornaviruses classes
enteroviruses
habitat
includes what viruses?
habitat = gastrointestinal tract
include: poliovirus and coxsackievirus
also echoviruses - enteric cytopathic human orphan viruses
rhinoviruses habitat
respiratory epithelium
why would enteroviruses be in GI tract?
very stable in food and water
also stable at pH 3 (stomach)
why are rhinoviruses confined to the respiratory tract?
Sensitive to acidic pH
Replicate poorly above 33 C
enterovirus replication occurs where?
organ involvement
in oropharynx/intestines then to lymphoid tissues, can progress to viremia
organ involvement only occurs if viremia persists
where do rhino viruses replicate
upper respiratory tract
poliovirus, types?
genome
symmetry
3 antigenic types: PV1, PV2, PV3= Capsid differences between types
plus strand RNA genome 7500 nt in length
Icosahedral capsid
Poliovirus replication/life cyclce
- adherence via virus binds CD155 receptor, penetrance
- +RNA in the cell
- translation occurs= viral proteins made, includes a RNA dependent RNA poly
- replication of RNA occurs, + and - strands made (- used to make more positive strands)
- proteins and RNA packaged into nucleocapsid and released, cell destroyed via lysis NO ENVELOPE FORMED
danger of polivirus RNA alone
alone even this can cause infection
polio as a lytic virus
lytic virus - destruction of host cells virus is shed into stool
(up to 10,000 virus per infected cell) even weeks to months after symptoms gone
transmission polio virus
fecal oral
