lysogenic cycle as seen in bacteriophages

A

90 percent of bacteriophages that infect bacterial host cells are temperate phages

119
Q

prophage

A

latent viral DNA that integrates into bacterial chromosomes, replicates and daughter cells express new traits

120
Q

reactivation

A

-host bacterial cell containing the prophage in the lysogenic cycle is stimulated by some stress factor causing the latent viral DNA(prophage) to pop out of bacterial chromosome and resume the lytic cycle where host bacteria cells are destroyed

121
Q

lysogenic conversion

A

bacterium carrying prophage can express new phage proteins

-ex. s pyogens(strep throat) carrying erythrogenic toxin–>scarlet fever

122
Q

4 type of animal virus infections(acute viral infection)

A
  • produce life long immunity
  • short-lived viral infections
  • flu measles
  • gradually eliminated by host immune system over days or months
123
Q

4 type of animal virus infections(latent virus infection)

A
  • initially virus HSV induces a lytic infection in host
  • then viral NA becomes inactive and enters a latent phase inside host for long periods without disease, but may become reactivated later by some stress factor and produce disease symptoms
124
Q

4 type of animal virus infections(slow viral infection/persistent viral infection)

A
  • initial viral infection
  • measles followed by a slow viral infection in which viral particles multiply and gradually increase in number over a long period of time w.o elicting apparent symptoms in the patient. Then a slow, progressive lethal disease(SSPE) develops
125
Q

4 type of animal virus infections(chronic)

A
  • in long term infections
  • virus particles can be detected in tissue samples at alt me because they are continually multiplying at a slow rate with or w.o symptoms, or disease develops later
  • ex. congenital rubella syndrome and serum hepatitis
126
Q

latent, persistant, chronic viral infections

A

establish a carrier state in their animal host in which disease may or may not develop

  • the carrier state ranges from a few weeks to a life-long relationship with the animal host
  • ex: latter HSV infections
127
Q

prions

A

proteinaceous infections particles

128
Q

prions

A

infectious, misfolded proteings

-cause spongiform encephalopathies(fatal, wasting disease, produce holes in the brain

129
Q

prions diseases

A
  1. sheep scraple
  2. crutzfiend jacob diseas
  3. bovine spongyform encephalitlts(mad cow disease)
130
Q

animal viruses

A

effect cell membrane

131
Q

hiv comes equip with w/ own enzyme = reverse transcriptease copies RNA-DNA

A

bacteriophages effect bacteria

132
Q

lytic cycle

A

cause host cells to lyse(burst) killing host cell

133
Q

lysogenic or latent cycle

A

-viral dan remains dormant or integrates into host cell chromosome as latent DNA=> latter replication w/ host chromosome=> host cells are not killed
