33
Q

Caused by antigenic shift

A

Pandemic

34
Q

Used to name the strain of infuenza

A

Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase

35
Q

Responsible for binding to host receptor, Internalization of the virus, facilitation of membrane-fusion events, target if neutralizing antibodies

A

Hemagglutinin protein

  • H1,2, 3 - most commonly associated with human infections
36
Q

Hydrolyzes the mucus of respiratory epithelium, assist in viral budding and release of virion from cells

A

Neuraminidase protein (if there is too much mucus, virus cannot leave infected cells

-N1, N2 ; most commonly associated with human infections

37
Q

43
Q

Animal that serves as mixing vessel

A

Pigs

44
Q

Minor mutations in HA antigen, Makes prior Immunity less effective, occurs primarily among influenza A viruses, UUC represents a msitake in encoding, causing the flu strain to now have phenylalanine

A

Antigenic drift

45
Q

Occurs when two separate strains if influenza infect the same cell simultaneously, Major changes occur in surface antigens. Occurs by mutation or by reassortment

A

Antigenic shit

46

Genetic reassortment
Direct transfer
Reemergence of viruses
