Lec 1-5 - Virology Flashcards
animal viruses are between blank and blank in diameter
25-300 nm
classic EM technique to look at viruses
negative staining
new EM technique to look at viruses
cryoEM
viral genome can be blank or blank but not both
dna, rna
viral genome is blank stranded
single or double
positive polarity viral genome means blank but a virus can be negative polar as well
message sense
these viruses are infectious on their own
dna, positive stranded rna
all rna viruses except those with sing strand positive polarity genome requires a blank to become infectious
virion
where the genome is in a virus
core
protein shell encasing viral genome
capsid
capsid with genome of virus
nucleocapsid
lipid bilayer with viral proteins inserted
envelope
viral glycoproteins in the envelope called spike
peplomer
infections viral particle
virion
every virus has a blank that surrounds the blank and is usually icosahedral or helical
