UNIT 3 PART 2 Flashcards
POSITIVE SENSE ENVELOPED RNA VIRUSES
Flaviviridae
Togaviridae
Matonavirisae
Retroviridae
CLASS 4
single stranded RNA viruses of the positive sense
● transmitted by ticks and mosquitoes
Flaviviridae
Only the female arthropod bites and does
the blood meal and transmits it.
True
arthropod-borne viruses
Arbovirus
name came from the Latin word “flavus” meaning
yellow because of its propensity to cause jaundice in
patients
Flaviviridae
positive sense that can be DIRECTLY detected in
serum in CSF.
Flaviviridae
Most sensitive - virus specific IgM via ELISA.
Flaviviridae
Genus: Flavivirus
Vector: Aedes aegypti (breeds in stagnant water)
YFV
causes Yellow fever characterized by jaundice, fever
● Target organ: liver
YFV
pagkagat, the virus will replicate in the ____
then it will spread in the liver via hematogenous route
lymph node,
in what day can it cause hemorrhage(15%)
○ It can cause severe illness and death in
elderly and children
severe days 7-10
Genus: Orthoflavivirus
● Vector: Aedes aegypti
● causes Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever(DHF)
DENV
Once bitten, it will cause symptoms for
4-7 days
Fever, chills, joint pain, headache,
rash (usually in adults)
Without warning signs for Day 1-5
Fever, chills, joint pain, headache,
rash (usually in adults)
Without warning signs for Day 1-5
reddish skin
with white spots = Patient is
pagaling na
hermann’s rash
With abdominal pain, severe
headache, vomiting, gum bleed
■ low platelet
with warning signs
Dengue hemorrhagic fever
■ High Hemoglobin and Hematocrit
causing lasma leakage (mashado
malapot)
■ Narrow pulse pressure
● systolic-diastolic: 80/60
blood pressure
severe dengue
Antigen of Dengue, Day 1 to 7
NS1
first antibody in any virus na
lalabas.(Day 4 comes out; peaks
at Day 5). After the infection, a few
days before siya bumaba.
IgM
would come up after Day 7
(Lifelong Immunity); but you are
only protected from 1 serotype.
IgG
Basis for dengue vaccines like
dengvaxia. Only effective
to people who had
dengue before.
serotype 2
The dominant serotype in 2010 and 2018 in
the Philippines is
DENV-3
rapid detection on the 1st day
of fever, before antibodies appear some 5 or
more days later
NS1 antigen
antibodies to dengue
IgG/IgM
combination of antigen and
antibody test
combo
became available in 2016;
only recommended to prevent re-infection in
individuals who have been previously
infected
dengvaxia
became available in 2022;
suitable for adults, adolescents and children
from 4 years of age
qdenga
Genus: Orthoflavivirus
● Vector: Culex pipiens (and other Culex sp.)
SLEV
Most important cause of epidemic encephalitis in
North Amerixca.
SLEV
Genus: Orthoflavivirus
● Vector: Culex
● causes inflammation of the brain (encephalitis)
80% of infection have few or no symptoms
○ now, roughly 20% have symptoms
WNV
Most cases occur in old people.
WNV
Genus: Orthoflavivirus
● Vector: Psorophora ferox (and other mosquitoes)
● causes Rocio viral encephalitis
● Caused epidemic in Brazil in 1975-1976
