Herpesvirus in general Flashcards
Herpesviruses are good antigens.
F
Alphaherpesviruses are host specific slowly multiplying (>24hrs) viruses
F
Alphaherpesviruses may cause latent infection in neurons of ganglia
T
Some herpesviruses have a broad host spectrum (euryxen)
T
Gammaherpesviruses may cause latent infection in neurons of ganglia.
F
Herpes viruses are resistant to detergents
F
Herpesviruses are sensitive to detergents.
T
Herpesviruses are generally weak antigens.
T
Herpesviruses can cause latent persistent infections
T
Herpesviruses are typically stenoxen viruses, but there are significant exceptions
T
Herpesviruses are strong antigens, therefore single vaccinations provide lifelong
protection
F
Herpesviruses are enveloped viruses, therefore they are sensitive to detergents
T
There are no serological cross-reactions between different herpesvirus species.
F
Because the genome of herpesviruses is very stable, no attenuated mutant vaccine
strains are available.
F
Infectious bovine vulvovaginitis virus strains cause abortions and foetal deformities
