What is the structure of the pox virus?
Barrel/box structure
What is the genome in a pox virus made of?
dsDNA
Is poxvirus enveloped or not?
Yes
How does poxviruses get into the cell?
Fusion/Macropincytosis
Where does the pox virus replicate in the host cell?
Cytoplasm
What is the sequence of events in the poxvirus infection?
Fusion/macropinocytosis
Uncoating + early protein synthesis
Intermediate gene expression + DNA replication in cytoplasm
Late phase gene expression = structural proteins
Viral assembly
Virion
What types of virions do pox viruses make?
Intracellular mature virion
External enveloped virion
What does the intracellular mature pox virion do to the cell?
Lyse the cell no envelope
What are does the external enveloped virion do to the host cell?
Budding so does not harm the host cell immediately
May lyse later one
What is the incubation period for the pox virus?
3 to 5 days
What are the clinical signs of the pox virus?
Skin lesions - vesicles + scabbing
Lesions variably located
Mortality rare but can occur
How does immunity occur to the pox virus?
IFN - directed
Complement cascade
CTL-mediated
How does the pox virus evade the immune system?
Stealth + Mimicry
MHC I + CD4 down regulation + depletion
IFN + TNF receptor homologs
IL-10 homologs
Complement system disruption
What does poxvirus cause in bovine?
Bovine papular stomatitis
What is important to remember when working with a possible BVS case?
Zoonotic potential
