Lytic viruses Flashcards
INitially during infection at the early stage, where is the viral concentration
LOW~~ the virus is naked and will begin to rapidly replicate
Picornavirus: size morphology lipid envelope: tegumnet:
22-30nm icosahedral \+ssRNA NO envelope NO tegument
pH of
enterovirus
rhinovirus
(both are picornavirus)
enterovirus = stable pH 3-9 Rhinorviurs = unstable below 6
Nucleac acid polartity of picornavirus
+ssRNA, Icosahedral
diseases associated with picornaviruses
Enterovirus
Paralysis, cold, neningitis, diarrhea, hand/foot mouth
diseases associated with picornaviruses
rhinovirus
common cold
diseases associated with picornaviruses
hepatovirus
hepatitis
diseases associated with picornaviruses
haprechovirus
GI, myocarditis, encehpalitis
diseases associated with picornaviruses
Kobovuris
Gastroenteritis
Capsid of enterovirus: resistant to mild sewage tx, salt water, detergents and temp changes… thus viruse can transmit via
fecal-oral routes, fomties and on hands:
see that it goes through sewage and landfills→ into water supply→ and to us
Even though picornavirus have many simular morphologies, they can have different
receptors on cell surface
Virus recovered from throat/stool
Asymptomatic
Inapparent (subclinical) 90-95% polio
Minor undifferntiated febrile illness
Influenza like or URI
Mild illness (4-8%) from polio
Minor illness progresses to CNS invasion
Stiff back and neck, lasts 2-10 days with rapid and complete recovery
Aseptic Meningitis (nonparalytic polio) 1-2%
Graymarrow inflammation, initially nonspecific febrile diseae w/ varialbe spectrum of paralysis; can see isolated msl groups or extensive paralysis
Paralytic poliomyletis
patterns of polio paralysis
Asymmetric flaccid paralysis, lower extremeties more affected, large msl grous often affected
Bulbar paralysis: i
involvement of CN’s—respiratory compromise and 5% death
recovery from parayltic poliomyletis
Slow recovery from this (2 years 100%) or residual paralysis
IG: the virus will go into the gut and intestine, stay there and
is shed in feces… only see complications
Polio can go → lymph nodes-→ enters blood stream and gets into liver and spleen causing______ (febrile illness) and can cross into CSF causesing _______or attack the gray matter causing ________
viremia
(aseptic menigitis)
(paralytic poliomyletis)
Virus Isolation gotten from
Stool species, throat washings
CSF
Specifc, sensitive, time consuming
how do we commonly identify polio no
PCR
can so serology too,
General: ancient disease. Polio is exclusievely_____, fecal-oral transmission and enhanced by persons w/ sub-clinical infections seen during
human
Summer Epidemics d/t pool transmission
cause of early Endemic
EARLY in history children encounter the virus at early age and were protected by mothers antibodies… high rate of subclincal infections with a low incidence of paralytic disease
