Crusted and powderized and was inhaled
Historical Background - 1000BC
TOF
BUT this was not completed proven that it came from smallpox virus (lack of documentation)
T

May 14, 1796
Historical Background
who received the vaccination during May 14, 1796 and where did the infected material came from?
- James Phipps (8-yr old)
- Sarah Nemes

the vaccination experiment on may 14, 1796 was headed by?
Edward Jenner
it was through injecting, different from variolation
Historical Background

July 1, 1796
Historical Background - association
what materials were used?
May 14 , 1796 :
July 1, 1798 :
May 14 , 1796 :: infected material from a milkmaid (Sarah Nemes)
July 1, 1796 :: Inoculated virus from a real case of small pox
General Characteristic of Virus
TOF
Obligate Extracellular Parasites
F (Intracellular)
Genetic elements that can replicate only inside a living cell
General Characteristic of Virus
TOF
Possess their own genomes
T
General Characteristic of Virus
TOF
grow in artificial culture media (In vitro)
F (can be in vivo by using cell culture, chick embryo, animlas; live animals)
General Characteristic of Virus
TOF
Largest infectious units
F (Small)
20 –300 nm in diameter
General Characteristic of Virus
TOF
Brightfield microscopy is required
F (Electron)
General Characteristic of Virus
Most Imporatant characteristic; They cannot exist, survive, and proliferate outside a living host cell
Being Obligate Intracellular Parasites
General Characteristic of Virus
DNA
Smallest and largest animal Virus
Parvovirus and Poxvirus
Viral Components
Viral Components of VIRUS
- Nucleic Acid Genome
- Capsid (protein coat)
Capsid
Capsid + genome =
Nucelocapsid (Virion)
Viral Components
made up of protein that protect viral genome
Capsid
Viral Components
covers the nucleic acid genome and protects it against adverse condition
Capsomeres
Viral Components
Repeating structural subunits used in capsid?
Capsomeres
Viral Components
what is used for envelope from the host cell membrane as a viral component?
Glycoprotein Spike
Capsid
who have and does not contain an envelope?

- Detergents
- Drying
Released from cell by lysis
Naked capsid - Properties
TOF
