19
Q

What are the most common clinical manifestations associated with adenovirus infection?

A

Respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases.

20
Q

How is adenovirus most commonly transmitted (MOT)?

A

Through aerosolized droplets or as airborne particles.

21
Q

How is respiratory disease caused by adenovirus usually acquired?

A

respiratory secretions, stool, or fomites.

22
Q

very stable and can remain viable for weeks at variable temperatures on surfaces and in liquid solutions.

A

Adenovirus

23
Q

What is the incubation period for respiratory disease caused by adenovirus?

A

2-14 days.

24
Q

What are some common respiratory conditions caused by adenovirus?

A

Colds, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, pharyngoconjunctival fever, croup and Epidemics in military recruits

25
How can adenovirus be detected in the laboratory?
From respiratory secretions or stool in cell culture using various epithelial cell lines.
26
What confirmatory follow-up tests are used for adenovirus detection?
Indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) technique or enzyme immunoassay (EIA).
27
What characteristic cytopathic effect (CPE) does adenovirus produce?
A grapelike cluster cytopathic effect known as Cowdry Type B intranuclear inclusions.
28
Small, nonenveloped, circular, double-stranded DNA viruses.
Papillomavirus
29
In which species can Papovaviridae cause infections?
Humans, dogs, cattle, monkeys, and many other species.
30
What are Human Papillomaviruses (HPV) known to cause?
Human warts.
31
What is the tissue tropism of HPV?
Either cutaneous or mucosal tissue.
32
What cells do HPV infect and what do they induce?
HPV infects squamous cells and induces the formation of cytoplasmic vacuoles (koilocytes).
33
What are the functions of the E6 and E7 genes in HPV?
E6 inhibits p53 E7 inhibits Rb, leading to the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes.
34
Which HPV types are associated with plantar warts?
HPV-1.
35
Which HPV types are associated with common warts of the hands?
HPV-2 and HPV-4.
36
Which HPV types are associated with genital warts (condyloma accuminata)?
HPV-6, HPV-11, and others.
37
How many types of HPV cause virtually all cases of cervical cancer, and which types cause more than 60% of cases?
-Fifteen to twenty types of HPV cause virtually all cases of cervical cancer -with types 16 and 18 causing more than 60% of cases.
38
Which HPV type is associated with a subset of cancers of the oropharynx and penile cancer in males?
HPV-16.
39
Which HPV type is associated with adenocarcinoma?
HPV-18.
40
What is the most prevalent sexually transmitted viral disease in the United States?
HPV infection.
41
How is HPV infection detected?
-Using histopathologic (cutaneous biopsy) or cytologic (cells) examination -DNA probe assays for identification of specific genotypes in infected epithelial cells.
41
What are the vaccines available for HPV prevention?
Cervarix, Gardasil, and Gardasil-9.
