Otthomyxo/Influenza Flashcards
Influenzaviruses have segmented genome
T
HPAI and LPAI strains differ in the number of basal amino acids in the HA protein
T
HA protein of influenza viruses is responsible for the attachment to the cell
T
The M2 protein of influenza viruses serves as an ion channel important in the decapsidation
T
Antigenic drift means serials of point mutations in the HA and NA genes
T
The NA protein in the influenza virus is responsible for the release from the infected cells
T
Enzymatic cleavage of the HA protein is needed for the influenza virus penetration into the cell
T
Genetic reassortment of human and animal influenza viruses result in the occurrence of new human influenza strains
T
Antigenic shift is behind the influenza pandemics
T
The serotype of influenza viruses is determined by their HA and NA proteins
T
The influenza viruses cause respiratory signs in sea mammals
T
The bird to human host switch of influenza virus is mediated by swine
T
In humans inactivated vaccines are used for the immunisation against influenza
T
Antigenic drift is behind the seasonal influenza epidemics
T
Antigenic shift means the reassortment of the influenzavirus genome
