Virology III Flashcards
influenza virus
orthomyxoviruses
enveloped
negative ssRNA
8 segment genome
hemagglutinin
in influenza virus - promote viral entry
neuraminidase
in influenza virus - promote progeny virion release
live attenuated vaccine
replicat in nose - not lung
genetic shift
causes pandemics
dangerous
genetic drift
causes epidemics
less dangerous
sudden shift more deadly than gradual drift
genetic shift worse than genetic drift
