25
mumps prevention
live attenuated vax (MMR)
26
respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) genome envelope
-RNA | enveloped
27
RSV surface proteins/ functions
G protein binds host cell not hemagglutinin | F protein causes membrane fusion and syncytia formation
28
RSV F protein
29
RSV entry/spread in body enters what cells? spreads down what? spread to distant sites? effects in lungs?
virus enter respiratory epithelial cells, then spreads downward along the respiratory mucosa no clinically significant spread to distant sites in lungs: necrosis of epithelial cells infiltration of lymphocytes increased mucous production
30
RSV and kids
considered to be most dangerous respiratory infections | in young children
31
RSV spreads by?
spread by hand contact and respiratory secretions
32
RSV clinical manifestations | what may account for more serious symptoms?
clinical manifestations – acute onset of fever, cough, rhinitis, and nasal congestion – often progresses quickly to severe bronchiolitis and pneumonia • bronchiolitis - bronchiole obstruction that can lead to respiratory failure host response may account for most serious symptoms
33
test for RSV
rapid immunological tests
34
rabies caused by? target?
rabies virus | highly neurotrophic= CNS target
35
rabies genome
-RNA
36
rabies transmitted by
– bites of infected animals – aerosols in caves where bats roost – contamination of scratches, abrasions, open wounds, or mucous membranes with saliva of infected animals
37
rabies envelope? shape?
enveloped | characteristic bullet shape
38
where does rabies replication occur in host cell? | RNA poly?
entirely cytoplasmic, brings its own RNA poly
39
main source of rabies
wild animals, less common in domesticated animals due to vax
40
incubation period of rabies | depends on?
incubation can be up to 12 months after virus enters body depends on size of inoculum and location of bite face bite has shorter incubation
41
Negri bodies
masses of nucleocapsids of rabies in cytoplasm seen in brain tissue of 70-90% of infected humans
42
rabies spread thru body
43
``` rabies clinical manifestations begin? symptoms? hydrophobia? death from? ```
– begin 2 to 16 weeks after exposure – pain or paresthesia at wound site, anxiety, irritability, depression, fatigue, loss of appetite, fever, and sensitivity to light and sound – Hydrophobia: contractions of muscles involved in swallowing (sometimes sight of water elicits this) – quickly progresses to paralysis – death results from destruction of regions of brain that regulate breathing
44
treatment, prevention, and control of rabies
– Passive administration of antibody (antiserum or immunoglobulin) (human rabies immune globulin = HRIG collected from immunized persons) – postexposure vaccination – preexposure vaccination of individuals with high risk of exposure, dogs, and cats
45
Orthomyxoviruses genome envelope
-RNA | enveloped
46
Orthomyxoviruses spp
flu A, B and C
47
Orthomyxoviruses genome
8 segments of RNA (for influenza viruses A and B) | 7 segments of RNA (for influenza virus C)
48
Orthomyxoviruses replication
bind cell via hemagglutinin: entry nucleocapsid uncoats with the drop in pH at endosome, releasing -RNA RNA may enter nucleus for transcription to + via viral RNA poly +RNA exits nuc and is translated to proteins, or remains in nuc to form new -RNA proteins follow exocytosis route and are assembled with -RNA and bud from host cell mem
49
cap-snatching of Orthomyxoviruses
uses 5 end of host mRNA to prime viral mRNA synthesis
50
Orthomyxoviruses random packaging
Random packaging of the 8 segments (11 segments packaged per virion)
51
Orthomyxoviruses surface proteins
Surface spikes (peplomers) hemagglutinin (HA) neuraminidase (NA)
52
``` Orthomyxoviruses hemagglutinin binds? promotes? what cells does it aggregate? eleicits what response? ```
attachment to host cell surface (prior to entry), binds to sialic acid on epithelial cell surface promotes membrane fusion (viral-cellular) binds/aggregates RBCs elicits protective neutralizing antibody response
53
Orthomyxoviruses neuraminidase (NA
release of virus from envelope | cleaves sialic acid (NA has enzymatic activity)
54
pathogenesis/ spread of influenza A
55
flu symptoms usually due to?
interferon induction
56
treatment, prevention, and control of influenza
–Treat with amantidine, rimantidine (A strain only); ribavirin (A and B) –inactivated virus vaccine
57
late complications of the flu
Later, pneumonia may result from bacterial pathogenesis, viral pathogenesis, or immunopathogenesis.
58
Antigenic shift
Antigenic shifts in influenza virus are caused by reassortment of viral genomic fragments during a mixed infection by two different influenza viruses from different spp
59
Antigenic drift
Changes in influenza virus surface proteins (hemagglutinin and neuraminidase) due to point mutations that occur during viral replication is called antigenic drift.
60
antigenic drift and shift prevent what
life long immunity from the flu
61
pigs as a "mixing vessel" for the flu
Pigs play an important role as a “mixing vessel” for influenza viruses from humans, birds, and pigs. This is because pigs can become infected by these different influenza viruses In the pig the virus may undergo antigenic shifts to form new genomes, capable of infecting humans
62
``` 1918 flu pandemic: “spanish influenza” # killed usually what demo mechanism of death genome ```
killed 50 million world-wide victims usually young and previously healthy Likely killed via a “cytokine storm” in victims with strong immune systems unchecked positive feedback loop between cytokines and cellular response result: too many immune system cells activated in an single space = tissue damage genome recovered in 1997 from victim in permafrost grave in Alaska Sequencing showed the virus originated in birds and mutated to be infectious in humans
