Lecture 14- VIROLOGY! Flashcards
What is an example of a lytic, acute viral replication?
Naked Viruses use this method!
What is an example of non lytic, chronic viral replication?
Enveloped viruses Modus Opperandi
What is an example of Latent viral replication?
HERPES!
What is an example of viral replication via transformation?
HPV (cancer)
What are the envelope possibilities for dsRNA viruses?
JUST NAKED!
What are the envelope possibilities for ssRNA viruses?
Naked and Enveloped
What are the envelope possibilities for dsDNA viruses?
Naked and Enveloped
What are the envelope possibilities for ssDNA viruses?
JUST NAKED!
What does (+) “sense” orientation infer?
That it is in the same orientation as normal mRNA
What structure determines what cells a virus can infect?
Spike Proteins!
What type of mRNA MUST viruses be able to produce in order to replicate their protein products?
(+) “sense” RNA, some viruses come like this already, some have to bring an enzyme that will translate to this
BIG concept: what does (-)ssRNA need in order to convert it to (+)ssRNA?
It needs RNA-dependent RNA polymerase
What is another name for Reverse Transcriptase?
RNA-dependent DNA Polymerase
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical transmission?
Horizontal: person to person, Verticle: mom to neonate
What it the iceberg effect?
When a pathogen (virus) is asymptomatic and therefore people can be carriers and not know it. So a large amount of a population is infected, but you can’t tell
