What are food borne viral disease?
In host and host specific..can't grow in more than 1 place. Viruses must be cultured in cell tissue cultures
always infection, never grow in food, due to poor sanitation, contaminated food/water, or direct contact
nature of viruses makes it hard to diagnose/trace epidemiology
What are the differences between viruses?
All food borne: naked viruses: can live longer than food borne bacteria even with cl-
Animal vir: Naked or enveloped
regular viruses die outside of host, but

Naked viruses surveive longer outsdie than bacteria:
Naked viruses> gram+ bact> gram- bact.> enveloped viruses

Diarrhea and vomit
Gastroenteristis vir...
Human Rotavirus
1) What is the transmission and treatment?
it's human to human.
extereme sanitation espeically
in daycares
there is a vaccine but 4 serotypes so it is
still under trial
What is Norwalk Virus?

never cultured but
seequenced, belong to SRSV group
or small round structed viuses
incubation:1-2days
What are the symptoms of Norwalk Virus?
most common G*
in school age and older
higher antbodies has
greater susceptibility
Diarrhea and vomit
adults mostly Dia
kids mostly vomit
What is the transmission and treatment for Norwalk virus?
water, undercooked shelllfish
food made by carriers
human-human

sanitation
impossible to eliminate because
surive well outside body after excreted
What are Enteroviruses?
General info: group in PICORNA VIRUS: all small rna viruses trasmitted by fecal-oral route not usualy G* causing cause minor compare to damage they do to others
What is Polio Virus
or paralytic poilo?
Entericvirus...
More rich people have it
incubation: 1-2week for 1st phase
older victin, the better to go to next
phases
What are the symptons of polio?
first phase: Diarrhea ass/
with intestinal colonization
2nd phase: Viremia: virus
in blood
3rd phase: CNS infection +
paralysis
or paralytic disease
What is the transmission and control of polio?
intestinal infectoin: lifelong imm.
if sanitation bad, then infant gets it, less in older age
if sanitation good, then in school age, no immnuniy when
younger.
common food is from oysters

immunization

complete word wide radication expected in few years due to
suscces of live vaccine.

liver damage ass with
coloniztin of liver: jaundice,
severe weakness,
intermittnet das.
What is the treatment and transmission of Hepatitis A virus?
if sanitation bad, infants gets it, then lifetime imm. Like polio.
if sanitation good, then in older phase of life, as older,
sypmtons are more servere
mostly from watery, food made by infected handlers, raw
shellfish, direct transmission.

only treatment is good sanitation

very rare or rare forms are pathogenic
What are the sympton of Coxsackie Virus?
may cause meningitis
and foot-hand-mouth
diesase i.e. blisters.
What are Echovirus?
E: enteric transmission
C: cytophatogenic, alter tissue culture cells
H: human, only human
O: orphan, same as Reovirus.
What are they sympton of Echovirus?
no longer orphan
known to cause
intestinal and CNS dis.
How is Echovirus transmitted?
from raw shellfish, rare cases
