Enveloped DNA viruses
Pox, Herpes, Hepadna
Properties of DNA viruses:
Biggest
Poxviridae
Properties of DNA viruses:
Only virus that replicate in the cytoplasm
Poxviridae
Properties of DNA viruses:
Brick-shaped enveloped (non-icosanedral)
Poxviridae
Properties of DNA viruses:
Heaviest
Herpesviridae
Properties of DNA viruses:
Lightest
Parvoviridae
All DNA viruses are enveloped, except
PAPP smear
(Parvo-, Adeno-, Papilloma-, Polyomavirus)
All DNA viruses are dsDNA except
parvovirus
All DNA viruses are linear except
PoHPa (Polyoma-, Hepadna-, Papillomavirus)
All DNA viruses have icosahedral capsids except
poxvirus
All DNA viruses replicate in the nucleus except
poxvirus
RNA respiratory viruses
- Paramyxoviridae
- Orthomyxoviridae
- Coronaviridae
All RNA viruses are enveloped except
CPR (+H ) or PRC examination
Calci-, Picorna-, Reovirus+Herpesvirus
All RNA viruses are ssRNA except
Reovirus
All RNA viruses are icosahedral capsids, except for few helical viruses
A HELYX
A - Arenavirus
H – Rhabdovirus
E – Emperor’s wear crown “corona”-virus
L – DeLtavirus, FiLovirus
Y – BunYavirus
X – orthomyXo- and paramyxovirus
All RNA viruses are linear except 3 circular ones:
• Arenavirus – arenas are round
• Bunyavirus – bunions are round
• Deltavirus – the Greek letter “6” round
All RNA viruses have replicate in the cytoplasm except:
Orthomyxo and Retrovirus
virus particle consist of a nucleic acid genome (DNA or RNA)
Virion
interaction of a virion with a specific receptor site on the surface of a cell.
Attachment
Examples of Viral attachments:
Rhinovirus
VP1-VP2-VP3 complex
Examples of Viral attachments:
Adenovirus
Fiber protein
Examples of Viral attachments:
Influenza A virus
