Gastro-Adeno-Papilloma Flashcards
–Inflammation of stomach or intestines
–important disease of infants and children
–leading cause of childhood death in developing countries
- Mostly caused by rotaviruses
Viral Gastroenteritis (Chapter 37)
_____ is a segmented dsRNA virus that is the main cause of diarrhea in children 6-24 month
Group A rotavirus
_____ is (+) ssRNA and is the major cause of outbreaks in children and adults
Norovirus
_____ virus= 1st virus identified from stool samples by electron microscopic examination (1972)
Norwalk virus
Rotaviruses are members of the _____ family:
- Nonenveloped
- Inner and outer capsids
- 11 segments of dsRNA = genome
- lysis of infected cells
Reovirus family
_____ causes: -potentially fatal dehydration; fecal-oral transmission; watery-diarrhea
Rotaviruses
acid stability of rotaviruses is conferred by ______
double capsid structure
rotavirus produces an _____ that binds integrins; signaling results secretion of chloride and water-infected gut epithelial cells destroyed & replaced by immature epithelial cells (reduced uptake of ions, water; less absorption of foods molecules (carbs))
enterotoxin
\_\_\_\_\_: positive strand RNA genome ~7,500 bases in length Naked capsidvirions -Replication similar to picornaviruses (poliovirus) except 2nd phase of translation involves subgenomicRNAs (like coronaviruses). -Has a 5VPgprotein on RNA
Noroviruses
______ virus:
linear double-stranded DNA genome
non-enveloped
icosahedral capsid
Adenovirus
Adenoviral _______ enters cell nucleus
nucleoprotein complex
T/F: Adenovirus gene expression temporal regulation pre-early, early, late genes
Tru
_________ are produced during one phase act to promote transcription of genes of subsequent phase (adenovirus)
transcriptional regulators
____ DNA replication only one of the 2 DNA strands is copied at each replication fork; no discontinuous replication (lagging strand replication)priming is by a viral protein, pTP (preterminal protein)
Adenovirus
What is the primer of adenovirus DNA replication?
Viral protein pTP
