Q

Different between antigentic drift and antigenic shift?

A
  1. Antigenic drift = small mutation to RNA over time to confers to the immune response
  2. Antigenic shift = mixture of two different virus type infecting the same cells –> generating new virus subtype

Review influenza steps inhibited by antiviral drugs?

A
20
Q

Which drug H3N2 and B strains resistant to?

A

….

21
Q

What disease H1N1 is known for to cause in human? (2)

A
  1. Flu A Associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (FLAARDS)
  2. multi-organ failure
22
Q

Which disease associated with the picture?

A

FLAARDS

23
Q

Which disease associated with the picture?

A

No disease –> normal lung

24
Q

Pandemic H1N1 is an example of?

A

Swine Influenza

25
Q

What is the similarity between Swine Influenza and Avian Influenza?

A
  1. caused by type A influenza virus

* Swine Flu: Type A H1N1

* Avian Flu: Type A H5N1

26
Q

Domestic poultry with Avian Influenza can have 2 types of diseases. Which are they?

A
  1. Low Pathogenic avian influenza
  2. High Pathogenic avian influenza –> 100% killed
27
Q

Criteria for pandemic influenza? (3)

A
  1. Emergence of a new influenza virus subtype
  2. Virus must infect humans and cause serious illness
  3. Virus must have sustained transmission and spread easily (continue without interruption) among humans
28
Q

Characteristic of Inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) (3)

A
  1. IM or IV
  2. Trivalent or Quadrivalent
  3. Killed virus
29
Q

Characteristic of Live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) (3)

A
  1. Intranasal
  2. Quadrivalent
  3. Live
30
Q

What is the reasoning for yearly influenza vaccine?

A

Provide protection from high production of antibodies

31
Q

What is the added benefit of the LAIV?

A

Cold adaptive –> protection from pulmonary infection

32
Q

Where in the body does the LAIV replicate most efficiently?

A

Upper airway since it is cold adaptive

–> inefficiently replicate in lower airway

33
Q

Compare and contrast 7 criteria of IIV and LAIV

A
34
Q

How do we protect < 6 month age from influenza?

A

vaccinating pregnant women and all household members and caregivers

35
Q

What is the CDC recommendation for influenza vaccine?

A

Include all persons aged 6 months or older who do not have a contraindication

36
Q

Complication to children given aspirin when they have influenza or varicella?

A

Reye’s Syndrome - sever liver and brain disease

37
Q

Instead of aspirin, what should be given to children with influenza or varicella?

A

Acetaminophen

38
Q

How does antigenic shift occurs?

A

Gene reassortment can occur when two or more influenza viruses infect a single human or animal.

39
Q

Why do we refer to pig as mixing vessels?

A

Pigs can be infected with virus that infect pigs, bird and human. –> allowing for reassortment of gene sequence and generate novel virus

40
Q

Which influenza type is not subjected to antigenic shift?

A

Type B strain because it affects human only

41
Q

What caused the pandemic H1N1 virus?

A

reassortments between swine, birds, and human virus strains

42
Q

Differ the binding specificity between hemaglutinin glycoprotein and host receptors in bird and human

A
  1. Avian virus binds in an alpha-2,3 linkage
  2. Human virus binds in an alpha-2,6 linkage
43
Q

Differ H1N1 vs. H5N1 in their tramission to human

A
  1. H1N1 result from resortment of genes between Swine influenza, Avian influenza and Human influenza
  2. H5N1 is due to mutation of Avian influenza Hemagglutinin such that it binds human receptor specifically
44
Q

Resistance of influenza strains
