if the outer capsid of reoviruses is removed it forms a —

A

infectious subviral particle (ISVP)

can still bind to host- still infectious

105
Q

reoviruses replicate in the —

A

cytoplasma
2 step: early and late transcription

reovirus- nonenveloped, spherical tricapsid layered iscosahedral, + sense multi segmened dsRNA (bluetongue, rotavirus)

106
Q

RNA reassortement can occur in Reoviruses because

A

dsRNA is in multible segements

if a host cell is infected by multible viruses can make baby viruses with a mix of dsRNA

reovirus- nonenveloped, spherical tricapsid layered iscosahedral, + sense multi segmened dsRNA (bluetongue, rotavirus)

107
Q

bluetongue virus causes—

A

targets hematopoietic cells and endothelial cells of blood vessels

cause blue tongue, ulcers in mouth, fever, hemorrhage, abortion

caused by midges

reovirus- nonenveloped, spherical tricapsid layered iscosahedral, + sense multi segmened dsRNA (bluetongue, rotavirus)

108
Q

blue tongue virus is found in — animals

A

sheep
cattle, yak, goats

attack hematopoietic cells and endothelial cells

reovirus- nonenveloped, spherical tricapsid layered iscosahedral, + sense multi segmened dsRNA (bluetongue, rotavirus)

109
Q

Blue tongue virus is spread by —

A

midges- small biting flies

reovirus- nonenveloped, spherical tricapsid layered iscosahedral, + sense multi segmened dsRNA (bluetongue, rotavirus)

110
Q

rotaviruses cause —

A

watery diarrhea
(white/milk scours)
virus destroys epithelial cells at the top of villi in the small intestine

111
Q

vaccines to rotavirus are made by —

A

reassortment techniques
segmented genome mixed up in a lab to make live-attenuated vaccine
