Lymphatic Viruses Flashcards
how many species of ebolavirus are there
5
species that affect humans
SUDV, EBOV, BDBV
list the 5 species of ebola virus
sudan ebolavirus
zaire ebolavirus
tai forest ebolavirus
bundibugyp ebolavirus
resron ebolavirus
species that affects primates including humans
TAFV
species that affects nonhuman primates and swine
RESTV
ebola envelope
+ with glycoprotein spikes
ebola symmetry and shape
helical, filamentous, pleomorphic, flexible with extensive branching
ebola has _ layers with _ proteins
3, 7
What are the three layers of the Ebola virus?
envelope, matrix space, and nucleocapsid
proteins in nucelocapsid
NP, VP35, L, VP30
protein in envelope
glycoprotein
protein in matrix space
VP40, VP24
modes of transmission for ebola
direct contact
raw meat consumption
sexual contact
breast milk
ebola virions enter the _ and affect _ cells
mucosal membrane, dendritic
ebola
dendritic cells > lymph nodes > _ or _
systemic spread and multiple organ dysfunction, immune system dysregulation
ebola:
immune system dysregulation leads to
impaired T cell activation and excessive cytokines
what happens to the circulatory system when Ebola enters the body
capillary leakage and 3rd spacing
coagulopathy > haemorrhagic manifestations
damage to endothelium
low blood pressure
release of pro-inflammatory cytokines lead to
endothelial leakage
reduced synthesis of clotting factors
hepatocellular necrosis

exposure
incubation
early symptoms
symptoms worsen
death
spread
ebola patients are most contagious at and near _
death
during exposure and incubation, the patient is contagious or not contagious
not contagious
patient becomes contagious during the _ stage
early symptoms
8-12 days after exposure
fever, chills, fatigue, muscle pain, weakness
2 weeks after exposure
diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, rash, red eyes, bleeding
6-16 days after symptoms begin
damage to blood vessels causing drop in BP and organ failure
