Paramyxo-Rabies-Influenza Flashcards
negative strand RNA viruses genuses
paramyxoviruses
rhabdoviruses
orthomyxoviruses
paramyxoviruses spp
measles
mumps
respiratory syncytial
parainfluenza
rhabdovirus spp
rabies
othromyxovirus spp
influenza A, B, and C
Paramyxoviruses structure
Helical nucleocapsid Pleomorphic envelope (variable shape)
surface adhesin of paramyxoviruses
hemagglutin
hemagglutin of paramyxoviruses
measles?
on envelope, will bind sailic acid on cell surface glycoproteins
on measels will bind CD46 protein
paramyxoviruses genome
negative single strand RNA
Paramyxovirus replication
minus strand RNA injected into host cell
Viral RNA poly used to produce + strands for protein synthesis and - strand replication
both proteins and -RNA are packaged to nucleocapsid and bud from the host cell membrane for envelope
REPLICATION IS ENTIRELY CYTOPLASMIC
measles virus
genus
surface proteins
paramyxovirus
hemagglutins
F protein
hemagglutin for measles
envelope glycoproteins attachment proteins (bind virus to host cells)
F protein of measles
- causes membranes to fuse together: role in viral entry into cells
expression on infected cells causes cell-cell fusion= Giant cells (syncytia)
paramyxoviruses and syncytia
All paramyxoviruses can induce syncytia formation
Measles (Rubeola)
caused by?
enters thru?
contagious?
- caused by measles virus
- enters body through respiratory tract
- extremely contagious
measles spread thru body
skin involvment of measles due to?
skin involvement (partly, inflammation due to host response) humoral and cellular immune responses modulate outcome
symptoms of measles
3 C’s = cough, coryza, conjunctivitis
Also morbilliform appearance (rash = exanthem)
Early sign of Koplik spots in oral cavity
complcaitions asscoiated with measles infection
Pneumonia (giant cell pneumonitis)
Bacterial superinfections of middle ear and lung
subacute sclerosing panencephalitis
bacterial infection associated with measles
spp?
– Bacterial superinfections of middle ear and lung
– pneumococci, staphylococci, and meningococci
subacute sclerosing panencephalitis
rare progressive degeneration of central nervous system caused by a type of measles virus
treatment, prevention, and control of measles
– symptomatic/supportive therapy
– attenuated measles vaccine
• MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella)
• Live Measles vaccine - 1993
Mumps caused by? genus? shape? envelope? geometry? Genome?
caused by mumps virus Paramyxovirus pleomorphic enveloped virus helical nucleocapsid negative strand RNA
mumps spread thru the body
clinical manifestations of mumps
occur when?
complications?
– develop 16-18 days after infection
– fever, and swelling and tenderness of salivary glands
– complications include meningitis and orchitis (inflammation of testis)
