Mechanisms of Viral Pathogenesis: RNA/DNA, Oncogenic Viruses Flashcards
outcome of viral diease?
viral host interaction and the host response to the interaction
Slide 1
Nature of disease? (3)
target tissue, portal of entry of the virus
permissiveness
severity of the disease? (3)
cytopathic, virus inoculum size, immune status of host
Incubation period?
before the prodrome, no/little symptoms, virus is amplified and may spread to a secondary site
prodromal period?
vague symptopms, before invasive phase
invasive phase?
most severe signs and symptoms
convalescence period?
gradual healing and may be able to pass on the virus to others
decline phase?
declining signs and symptoms
R Naught?
of people that a person can infect, ex measles can infect alot of people
Herpes Simplex virus 1&2
large, enveloped dsDNA, can be spread without visible lesions
HSV-1 symptoms?
cold sores, oropharynx, fever blisters, early childhood
HSV-2 symptoms?
Above the belt (eye infection), genitalia, (oral)
considered an STI
Hsv-1 latency
occurs in the trigeminal ganglon
hsv-2 latency
occurs in the sacral ganglia
Whitlow hsv-1
personal working on oral cavity (dental)
Whitlow hsv-2
obstetric and gynecological personnel
HSV Replication 10 stages? (1-6)
- absorption
- entry
- capsid transport to the nucleus
- transcription
- translation
- replication
HSV Replication 10 stages? (7-12)
HSV
- capsid assembly
- glycosylation
- glycoprotein export to the cell surface
- endocytosis of glycoprotein-containing plasma membrane
- envelopment
- virus release
hsv pathogenesis
why do virus cells become giant cells ?
cells will combine and become mulinucleated, so the virus can avoid the immune response
hsv pathogenesis
cowdry bodies
esoinophilic or basophilic (hemotoxial)
( references the dye that is used)
Epstein-Barr Virus, dna type?
enveloped dsDNA
Epstein-Barr virus, population infected?
college age, high school age are vulnerable (mono or kissing diease)
Epstein-Barr virus , goes latent where?
latent in b cells
Epstein-Barr virus incubation period?
30-50 days
