DNA viruses Flashcards
what is the ONLY single stranded DNA virus?
parvovirus (B19)
** think parvovirus is “part of a dna virus”
what are the attributes of parvovirus: DNA or RNA? ss or ds? circular or linear? shape of capsid? enveloped or naked?
DNA or RNA: DNA ss or ds: ss circular or linear: linear (all DNA viruses are linear except polyoma (JC), Papilloma (HPV) and Hepadnavirus (HBV)) shape of capsid: icosahedral enveloped or naked: naked
what are the only 3 DNA viruses that are circular (as opposed to linear) and their associated diseases?
Hepadnavirus- (HBV) Polyoma virus (JC-- think AIDS pt) Papilloma virus (HPV)
what are the six viruses that are under the Herpes Virus Heading?
- HSV
- Varicella-Zoster
- EBV
- CMV (sytomegalovirus)
- Herpes virus 6
- Herpes virus 8
what are the attributes of 6 Herpes viruses (HSV, Varicella-Zoster, EBV, CMV, Herpes virus 6, Herpes virus 8)
DNA or RNA? ss or ds? circular or linear? shape of capsid? enveloped or naked?
DNA or RNA: DNA
ss or ds: ds (all DNA is ds except parvovirus!!)
circular or linear: linear (all DNA viruses are linear except polyoma (JC), Papilloma (HPV) and Hepadnavirus (HBV))
shape of capsid: icosahedral
enveloped or naked: enveloped
what are the 4 viruses listed as Poxviruses?
- variola
- vaccinia
- Molluscum
- Contagiosum
What are the attributes associated with the 4 pox viruses (variola, vaccinia, molluscum, contagiosum)?
DNA or RNA? ss or ds? circular or linear? shape of capsid? enveloped or naked?
DNA or RNA: DNA
ss or ds: ds (all DNA viruses are ds EXCEPT parvovirus)
circular or linear: linear (all DNA viruses are linear except polyoma (JC), Papilloma (HPV) and Hepadnavirus (HBV))
shape of capsid: complex
enveloped or naked: enveloped
what are the attributes of Hepadnavirus (HBV)?
DNA or RNA? ss or ds? circular or linear? shape of capsid? enveloped or naked?
DNA or RNA: DNA
ss or ds: ds (all DNA viruses are ds EXCEPT parvovirus B19)
circular or linear: circular (Hepadnavirus is one of 3 viruses that is circular, along wih Polyoma (JC) and papilloma (HPV))
shape of capsid: icosahedral
enveloped or naked: enveloped
what are the 2 dsDNA, circular, naked, icosahedral virus groups?
papillomavirus (HPV)
Polyomavirus (JC)
what is the circular, dsDNA icosahedral, enveloped virus?
Hepadnavirus (HBV)
what is the group of linear, dsDNA, icosahedral, enveloped viruses?
Herpesvirus (HSV, EBV, Herpes 6, Herpes 8, CMV, Varicella-zoster virus)
what is the group of complex, enveloped, dsDNA viruses?
Poxvirus (Variola, Vaccinia, Molluscum, Contagiosum)
what is the linear, dsDNA, naked, icosahedral virus group?
adenoviruses
what is the naked, icosahedral, ssDNA virus?
parvovirus! (the only ssDNA virus!!)
what are the attributes of Papillomavirus (HPV) and Polyomavirus (JC)
DNA or RNA? ss or ds? circular or linear? shape of capsid? enveloped or naked?
DNA or RNA: DNA ss or ds: ds circular or linear: circular (there are only 3 virus families that are circular, popilloma, polyoma and hepadnavirus) shape of capsid: icosahedral enveloped or naked: naked
