What special proteins are involved with (-)ssRNA?
Must have an RNA POLYMERASE to make + sense RNA to make proteins
What special protein is involved with poliovirus?

What special protein is involved with Hep B?
Reverse transcriptase
What viruses have a reverse transcriptase that converts RNA -> DNA?
- Hep B
2. Retroviruses (HLTV-1 and HIV)
What are the special proteins involved with the influenza virus?
- Hemagglutinin (HA): cell attachment
2. Neuraminidase (NA): cell budding
Which virus has an extremely large genome?
Varicella Zoster virus
Which virus has a very small genome?
Hep B
What is special about the (+)ssRNA in retroviruses?
They have diploid identical copies
What is special about the HPV dsDNA?
It is circular DNA
Which viruses enter via membrane fusion?
- Measles
- Respiratory syncytial virus
- Retroviruses (HLTV-1 and HIV)
How does the influenza virus enter the cell?
Cell attachment with HA -> confirmation change -> entrance
