Flaviviruses, pestiviruses, alphaviurses Flashcards
genus in flaviriridae family
- flaviviruses
- pestiviruses
flaviviruses
- west nile virus
- St. Louis encephalitis virus
- wesselbron dx
- yellow fever dx
- tick borne encephalitis
- looping III
pestiviruses
- bovine viral diarrhea
- border dx
- hog cholera (classical swine fever)
togaviruses
- eastern, wester, venezulenan encephalitis viruses
flaviviridae features
- enveloped virus
- e protein
- ssrna
- positive sense
- 1 long open reading frame
flaviviridae genome features
- 5’ end of genome capped, 3’ end no poly a (5’ like mammalian genome, 3’ diff than mammalian protein)
flavivirdae host
broad host insect and vertebrate
st louis encephalitis virus type
flavivirus
st loud encephalitis
- mosquito-bird-mosquioto cycle
- causes signficant human dx
wesselsbron virus type
flavivirus
wesselsbron virus affects who
- sheep mainly
- cattle, horses, swim sub clinically
wesselbron virus sheep where and signs
- in subsaharan africa
- fever, jaundice, sq edema
- abortion
zoonotic flaviviruses
- St. Louis encephalitis
- wesselbron dx
- louping III
west nile virus transmission
- mosquito transmitted virus ‘
- maintained in birds
- transmitted to horses and humans
west nile virus in us
endemic
horses and humans and west nile relatinoship
- these are dead end hosts for virus virus does not aim to get into human or horse goes from insect to mammal
- don’t really see horse to horse or human to human transmission
west nile virus horses presentation
- most susceptible to infection and dx
- most = subclinical infections
- clinical- see cns signs
- 1/3 clinical horses die
diagnosis of westnile in horses and contaminant level
- fa of infected tissues or csf
- bl3 contaminant
why use igm vs igg for serology
- advantage to igm is that you detect it sooner
westnile virus vac available
- inactivate vac in horses = good efficacy (canarypox virus vectored subunit vac)
flavivirus transmitted by tick
- powassan virus in North America
- louping III
flavivirus transmitted by tick infection and replication
- infect small mammals
- replicate in ticks
- bld meal at every stage so every meal = chance to transmit
flavivirus transmitted by tick transmission
- transtadially(through insect stages)
- transovarially (through eggs)
louping III virus type
flavivirus
