Q

How to retroviruses mutate

A

DNA copy of the genome is inserted into the DNA of the host cell that in invades, thus changing the genome of the cell

Q

How do retroviruses cause persistent infections

A

The vision binds to the receptors on the cell surface via its envelope glycoproteins ‘spikes’. The viral reverse transcriptase uses the viral RNA genome as a template to make a DNA copy of the virus, a provirus. This provirus can become integrated into the DNA of the infected host cell

Q

How to retroviruses replicate

A

Must integrate a copy of it’s genome into the host’s genome as a provirus. If this occurs in a host germ cell, the provirus may be inherited by the host’s progeny and down the generations as an ERV

34
Q

How is small ruminant lentivirus transmitted

A

To young through milk or colostrum

35
Q

What does Maedi-Visna cause

A

Dyspnea and wasting

36
Q

What is the pathology of Maedi-Visna

A

Sheep with maedi
- Lungs enlarged, abnormally firm and heavy and fail to collapse when thoracic cavity is opened
