Virus Flashcards
Two types of virus
Naked–without envelope
Enveloped–capsid surrounded by lipid membrane
Virus shapes
Isometric
Helical
Complex
Viral genome
EITHER DNA or RNA
Never both
Viruses are metabolically inert extra cellular
Okay!
Productive phage
Numerous progeny
Classification of virus
Isometric
Pleomorphic
Helical
Viruses are named for
Places they infect
Root of infection
Place where they were discovered
Enteric viruses
Transmitted via fecal oral route
Gastroenteritis
Respiratory virus
Respiratory droplets
Zoonotic animal to human via animal vector
Rabies
Ebola
Sexually transmitted disease
Lesions on genitalia or cause systemic infections
Herpes simplex
HIV
Hepatitis 2
Acute viral infection
Short in duration Host may develop long lasting immunity Productive infections Disease symptoms result from tissue damage and infection if new cells Chicken pox Measles Ebola Smallpox
Which part if an animal virus enters the cell?
Entire virus
Persistent virus infection
Always infected
Latent
Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 Shingles Viral DNA inserts into genome Very quiet Provirus
Chronic infections
Hep B and Hep C
Slow infections
HIV
RNA virus require what enzyme?
Replicase–RNA dependent, RNA polymerase
Plus RNA and minus RNA are
Reverse compliments
Minus RNA serves as…
Template to make more plus RNA
Hemaglutanin
Responsible for binding and neutralizing
Antegenic drift
Point mutation
Antigenic shift
Recombination of different RNA strains
