Monoengavirales - paramyxoviridae Flashcards
why mono?
non segmented -ssRNA viruses
why paramyxo?
para = like, myxo = mucus
Morphology
-ssRNA genome, helical capsid, enveloped, big size
Resistance
weak (pH, heat, detergents)
Replication
Baltimore V - viral transcriptase enzyme
Proteins:
- HN
- F
HN = hemagglutinin ans neuraminidase activity F = fusion proteins
CPEs
cytoplasmic inclusion bodies, syncytia, hemadsorption
Euryxen viruses
Respiro-, Rubula-, Avula-, Henipavirus
More stenoxen viruses
Morbillivirus and Pneumovirinae
Antigenic properties
Good antigens, coss-reactions within genera (Mobillivirus genus)
Diagnosis
- direct
- indirect
- Direct: isolation, HA, IF
- Indirect: VN, HAI
Genus
- Paramyxovirinae
- Respirovirus (respiratory disease)
- Mobillivirus
- Rubulavirus
- Avulavirus
- Henipavius
- Ferlavirus
- Pneumovirinae - Pneumovirus
- Metapneumovirus
Paramyxovirinae:
examples
- Parainfluenza virus 1: human influenza-like disease
- Parainfluenza virus 3: cattle, sheep - shipping
Respirovirus:
examples
fever, human influenza-like disease
-Sedai virus: rodents, rabbit - pneumonia, encephalitis
Morbioolivirus:
why morbilli?
morbilli = measles
