Viruses specials Flashcards
EBV
EBV gp350 binds to CD 21 (CR 2)
Adenovirus
Hexone and Pentone capsomeres- rodlike projections from Pentone based capsomeres interact with transmembrane protein members from Ig superfamily
Parvovirus
mimics Rhematoid arthritis in adults
Parvovirus
Childern: Aplastic crisis in sickle cell disease, Erythema infectiosum (Fifth disease), Hydrops fetalis, Adults: pure RBC aplasia, RA-like symptoms
Parvovirus
Attaches RBC via blood group P-antigen; adult bone marrow (BM) and fetal liver principal targets;
Replicates in BM
Polyoma: JC virus
Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) in HIV; cytoplasmic inclusions in oligodendrocytes
Polyoma: BK viruses
Transplant patients; Targets Kidney- Hemorrhagic cystitis
Poxvirus: Vaccinia
Cowpox (Milkmaid’s blisters)
Poxvirus
Molluscum contagiosum- flesh-colored dome lesions with central dimple
CMV
AIDS retinits, Transplant recipients, Blood transfusion
CMV
Require initial contact with GAG chains on host cell surface proteoglycan for entry
Mononucleosis-like syndromes (monospot -ve)
CMV, HHV-6, toxoplasmosis
Virion/Virion-protein binding to cell surface receptors specificities
1) HIV gp120 and CD4 (CCR5/CXCR4).
2) EBV gp350 and CD21 (CR2).
3) Parvovirus B19 and Erythrocyte P-antigen
4) CMV and cellular integrins
5) Rabies and nAChRs
6) Rhinovirus and ICAM-1 (CD 54)
Naked, double stranded, RNA, segmented
Reoviruses: Rotavirus and Coltivirus
Coltivirus
Colorado tick fever
Rotavirus
1 cause of fatal diarrhea in children
Naked, +ssRNA, nonsegmented
Picornaviruses (PEECoRnA: Polio, Echo, Coxsackie, Rhino, HAV), Calicivirus, Hepevirus (HEV).
Negative stranded RNA viruses
Always Bring Polymerase Or Fail to Replicate: Arenavirus, Bunyavirus, Paramyxovirus, Orthomyxovirus, Filovirus, Rhabdovirus
Segmented viruses (BOAR)
Bunyavirus, Orthomyxovirus, Arenavirus, Reovirus
All segmented viruses are -ssRNA viruses, except–
Reovirus (dsRNA)
All -ssRNA are linear except–ABD
Arenavirus, Bunyavirus, Deltavirus (HDV) are circular
All -ssRNA virus capsids–
Helical
All +ssRNA and dsRNA (Reovirus) capsids are–
Icosahedral, except Coronavirus (Helical)
Genetic Shift
Reassortment- segmented genome undergo high-frequency recombination- pandemic
Genetic drift
Random mutations- epidemic
