micro final Flashcards
orthomyxoviridae envelope single RNA A, B, C *Trivalent seasonal vaccine Rapid viral antigen test`
seasonal influenza
Caliciviridae
RNA
there are 4 types that cause human disease but more types
Transmission fecal-oral
Incubation 10-51 hours
-Diagnosis is by electron microscopy of stool
norovirus
flavivirus
RNA
Transmitted by blood
detected by increased serum transaminases and confirmed by HCV Ab (Ab marker of infectivity!)
hep c
- double
- DNA
- fecal oral & aerosol
adenovirus
Picornavirus No envelope RNA Vaccine Fecal-oral transmission incubation 15-45 days increased serum transaminases (ALT, AST) and bilirubin (liver stuff) + specific early marker HAV-IgM antibody
hep a
envelope
single
RNA
1, 2, 3, 4
paramyxovirus/parainfluenza
Reoviridae *double RNA A, B, C and group A – 1,2,3,4 Oral vaccine Incubation 1-3 days Diagnosis is by electron microscopy of stool or detection of antigen via latex agglutination or enzyme immunoassay
rotavirus
Hepadnaviridae
enveloped
Partly single-stranded, partly double stranded circular
DNA with a short RNA primer
Vaccine
Transmitted primarily by blood, serum or plasma, but all body fluids are infectious; Vertical transmission at placental separation
incubation 50-150 days
marker of infectivity: HBSAg (hep B surface antigen)
marker of immunity & recovery: HBSAb (antibody
During the short window period when both markers are absent: diagnosis by HB core IgM Ab
hep b
envelope single RNA \+ sense Types SARS, MERS Aerosol transmission Incubation 3 days SARS: ELISA: Not + until day 20 of illness
coronavirus
calicivirus No envelope RNA No vaccine Fecal-oral transmission Incubation 40 days detection of HEV-IgG antibody in the absence of markers for other hepatitis viruses
hep e
No vaccine
Rapid viral antigen test
RSV
single RNA \+ sense Approx. 100 serotypes Direct contact
rhinovirus
envelope? dependent on HBV envelope proteins
RNA
No vaccine, but vaccine for HBV protects
hep d
corona virus
envelope single RNA \+ sense Types SARS, MERS Aerosol transmission Incubation 3 days SARS: ELISA: Not + until day 20 of illness
norovirus
Caliciviridae
RNA
there are 4 types that cause human disease but more types
