A

Yes

25
Q

What viruses fall under poxviridae?

A

Small pox ( variola )
Cow pox ( vaccinia )

26
Q

What makes smallpox so speical for the poxviridae ?

A

We completed eradicated it by vaccination (1978)

27
Q

What makes the smallpox viruses so dangerous for poxviridae?

A

It’s a bioterrorism

( some history behind this )
We only have 2 smallpox viruses in the world, United States and Russia. If they were to release that vaccine to the public, most of us would die since we are not immune to it. Also transmitted through the respiratory tract

Hepatitis B virus

30
Q

What makes the hepatitis B viruses so dangerous ?

A

Liver cancer

31
Q

When are we vaccinated for hepatitis b viruses?

Q

How is hepatitis B virus transmitted ?

A

Sex & blood

33
Q

What are the 3 things to help classify if it’s a herpesviridae?
( what is it, shape, naked or envelope?)

A

Double stranded dna
Isosahedral shape
Enveloped

34
Q

What makes herpesviridae so dangerous?(2)

A

Once you get it, you have it forever
&
It’s latent, you can get experience multiple times, it’s dormat for a while in the nerve ganglion, then reactives
( usually through stress & immuno definecy)

35
Q

If you get a cold sore, can you get it again?

A

Yes because it’s herpes, once infected, always infected
