Q

Herpesvirus

General Characteristics

A
  • dsDNA
  • Icosahedral
  • Enveloped
  • Replicates in nucleus-> Nuclear inclusion bodies!
  • Strongly immunosupressive , strong CPE
  • Weak antigenicity-> weak immune response-> Lifelong carriers and latency
  • Cross reaction withim the genera - cross protection
  • Weak resistance (exc. Marke’s disease virus)
