What is the optimum growth temp for rhinovirus?
33°C
T/F: enteroviruses can survive in sewage, detergents, and high heat
true
T/F: picornaviruses are still infectious without their capsid
true
Where do picornaviruses replicated?
cytosol
Do picornaviruses use the one-gene-one protein model or a polyprotein?
polyprotein
What are the three major families within picornavirus?
Enterovirus
Rhinovirus
Heparnavirus

- poliovirus
- Coxsackie A and B
- Echovirus
- Enterovirus
What is the ONE virus within rihinovirus?
rhinovirus
What is the ONE virus within heparnavirus?
Hep A virus
Is the RNA-dep RNA Pol necessarily present in the capsid?
No, it is coded by the + RNA genome
Is the picornavirus capsid endocytosed?
No, the genome is INJECTED
what sense RNA is made from the picronavirus genome?
-RNA as a template
Is the VPg primer attached to the +RNA or -RNA duplicate?
+RNA
What is the mode of transmission of enterovirus?
fecal oral
only (blank)% of enterovirus infections are clinically apparent
1%
Where is the site of initial rep of enterovirus?
oropharynx and small intestine
What are the symptoms caused by the initial rep of enterovirus? (think of where they rep!)
nausea and vomiting
Poliomyelitis is an acute infection of the (blank) and the motor neurons of the spinal cord and brain stem
meninges
The Salk and Sabin vaccines are used for(blank)
polio
Where is polio still ENDEMIC?
Nigeria, Pakistan, and Afghanistan
How do you Dx polio?
Acute onset of flaccid paralysis, or recovery of poliovirus from stool sample or swab of pharynx
How many polio serotypes are there?
three
T/F: protection from one polio serotype will protect against them all
FALSE; little immune cross reactivity, therefore you need unique Abs to all three

Salk (inactivated vaccine)
Which polio vaccine is the live attenuated vaccine?
Sabin, ORAL vaccine
T/F: ENTEROvirus can cause viral meningitis
true!
