RNA viruses that replicate in the cytoplasm, transmitted by arthropods from vertebrates to humans
Arboviruses
enveloped, +ssRNA; EEE, WEE, VEE, Chikungunya
Togaviridae (alphavirus)
enveloped, +ssRNA; SLE, WNV, JE, Dengue, yellow fever, powassan fever
Flaviviridae
enveloped, -ssRNA; california encephalitis complex, La Crosse
Bunyaviridae
Double capsid, naked, dsRNA; colorado tick fever
Reoviridae (coltivirus)
enveloped, -ssRNA; Marburg, Ebola
Filoviridae
enveloped, +ssRNA, 2 glycoproteins, transmitted by mosquitos
togaviridae
encephalitis, severe illness with high mortality in children, also affects seniors, severe neurological sequelae; rare, spread across north america
eastern equine encephalitis (EEE); alphavirus
milder encephalitis, common to rural western US, affects infants and children but usually have a complete recovery
Western Equine Encephalitis (WEE); alphavirus
mild systemic encephalitis, Central/south america; infects mainly horses
Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis (VEE), an alphavirus
flu-like symptoms with severe joint pain, transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, common to india/asia; fatality rare
Chikungunya; an alphavirus
enveloped +ssRNA, small, one envelope gylcoprotein
flavivirus
moderately severe encephalitis; from wild birds to humans via Culex mosquito; found in TX,FL,MS; people older than 40
St. Louis Encephalitis; a flavivirus
severe encephalitis; culex mosquitoes; wild birds to humans/horses; worldwide; usually asymptomatic; if infected, can have sequelae 1 year post-infection
West Nile Virus; a flavivirus
sudden onset of mild or high fever; frontal headache, myalgias; Culex mosquito bite
west nile fever
focal necrotic neurons and inflammation of brain
west nile neuroinvasive disease
Dx of viral encephalitis:
80% undiagnosed; either isolate brain tissue or detect IgM antibodies
transmission of dengue
mosquito bite, virus replicates in target organs, then infects WBCs/lymph tissue, and released into blood
mild systemicdisease, Aedes mosquito, flu-like, nausea/vomiting; rash on elbows, knees and chest that spreads to extremities
Classic Dengue (flavivirus)
Hemorrhagic Dengue fever pathogenesis
A 2nd attack with a different serotype causes huge Ab production but cannot neutralize virus; damages vessels; get petechiae, hepatic necrosis, DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation)
Africa/south america; fever, headache, myalgias, photophobia; jaundice; proteinuria and black "coffee-grounds" vomit
Yellow fever (flavivirus)
Dx of Dengue/yellow fever
Serology with IgM
Tx of dengue/yellow fever
supportive therapy though there is a vaccine for yellow fever
naked, double capsid, dsRNA, replicates in cytoplasm
Reoviridae --> coltivirus --> colorado tick fever
mild form of dengue-like fever, retro-orbital pain; transmitted by a tick from squirrel; in Rocky mountain areas; common in campers/hikers
Colorado tick fever (coltivirus)
-ssRNA, no matrix proteins, found in cali + north central states
california encephalitis complex (bunyaviridae)
abrupt fever, 5-18 y/o; encephalitis, lasts 7 days
California encephalitis complex; bunyaviridae
encephalitis w/ seizures; milder/subclinical; children under 16 y/o; mosquito from squirrels; playing in woodlands
La Crosse Encephalitis; bunyaviridae
zoonotics acquired from rodents by enhaling virus from rat pee or poo
robovirus
bunyaviridae that is a robovirus
hantavirus
hemorrhagic fever with acute renal failure
Korean HF due to hantavirus
ARDS found in four corners area
Sin Nombre virus (hantavirus)
Prodrome febrile phase followed with damage to capillaries in the lungs
ARDS or Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome
Dx of hantavirus
can be detected in urine if tested early on; otherwise culture blood or do PCR
spherical enveloped virus with 2 pieces of ambisense ssRNA; sandy appearance
Arenavirus
subacute choriomeningitis, 2 week incubation period, non-specific illness persists for 3 months; CSF w/ lymphocytes; contact with rodents
Lymphocytic choriomeningitis (arenavirus)
Insidious onset of non-specific symptoms, hemorrhagic manifestations, acute deafness, West africa; rodents; no damage to CNS
Lassa fever (arenavirus)
Dx of Lassa fever
IgM with EIA; recent travel to west africa
filamentous, enveloped, -ssRNA; central/east africa; person to person transmission
Filoviridae
African Green Monkeys
Marburg Virus
highly effective replication, extensive necrosis in liver,spleen,lymph nodes and lungs; severe thrombocytopenia
Marburg + Ebola; filovirus
short 4-6 day incubation, very severe form of hemorrhagic fevere
ebola,marbur --> filovirus
Dx of filovirus
travel to East africa and clinical
