Flaviviridae
Yellow Fever virus disease
Acute viral haemorrhagic disease; can cause fever to severe liver disease
T/F
Flaviviridae are Arboviruses that is transmitted via vector
TRUE
Hepeviridae
Virus:
Disease:
Hepatitis E
Waterborne; similar to Hepatitis A but high fatality case amongst pregnant women
Orthomyxoviridae
Virus:
Disease:
Influenza A and B
Flu (malaise, headache, myalgia, cough)
Orthomyxoviridae Surface glycoproteins:
Hemagglutinin (HA)
Neuraminidase (NA)
- rod-shaped spikes which attaches to sialic acid
- 16 HA antigens
Hemagglutinin (HA)
- mushroom-shaped spikes which releases mature virions from infected host cells
- 9 NA antigens
Neuraminidase (NA)
- major genetic changes resulting to novel viral antigens; only Influenza A
- Reason why we have pandemic/ epidemic
Antigenic shift
Antigenic shift: H1N1
Spanish flu
Antigenic shift: H2N2
Asian flu
