Nidovirales: Coronaviridae Flashcards
What does nidovirales mean?
nidus - nest
Nested set of subgenomic mRNA synthesis for the structural proteins
Morphology
- +ssRNA genome
- ~80nm helical capsid
- enveloped, ~100 nm
Resistance
good pH resistance, heat labile
Biological properties
- Baltimore IV., subgenomic mRNA synthesis
- host specific – in vitro too
- CPE: not characteristic (rounding, lysis)
- HA: varies (HEV)
Antigenic properties
- relatively good antigens
* cross-reactions within genera – „serogroups” (IF, ELISA)
Diagnosis
- isolation (difficult) + IF
- clinical signs, IF, IEM
- indirect: ELISA, IF (cross-reactions), VN, (HAI)
