Adenovirus clasification
Icosahedral nucleocapsid->Non enveloped->dsDNA linear
Adenovirus has tropism for
Epithelia of lung and gut, lymphoid tissues
Adenovirus replication
Virus recognizes CAB receptor. Binds via hemagluttinin and enters and lyses mucosal cells of upper resp tract, conjunctiva, bladder, GI in young children (non bloody diarrhea)-Respiratory, gastroenteritis, conjunctivitis and cystitis
Adenoiviruses use for replication
viral DNA polymerase in nucleus
Adenoviruses transcription pattern
5 major earlier promoters. Late promoter produces a whole bunch of proteins. E1A binds retinoblastoma tumor suppresor to allow production of viral genome by the cell host goes into s phase. E1B binds p53.
Immunocompromised patients infected with adenovirus have a greater risk of
developing systemic problems like meningitis and hepatitis.
Adenovirus shedding can occur when
serotypes are capable of establishing persistent asymptomatic infections in tonsils, adenoids, and intestines of infected hosts, and shedding can occur for months or years
Adenoviruses transmitted by
by direct contact, fecal-oral transmission, and occasionally waterborne transmission
Epidemics of febrile disease caused by adenovirus with conjunctivitis are associated with
inadequately chlorinated swimming pools and small lakes
Adenoviruses outbreaks occur more in
the late winter, spring, and early summer; however, adenovirus infections can occur throughout the year
Diagnosis of Human Adenovirus Infection
ELISA for viral antigens
Viral DNA by polymerase chain reaction assay
Virus isolation can be performed (but not for enteric Ad serotypes 40-42)
adenoviruses 40 and 41 cause
gastroenteritis, usually in children
Because there is no virus-specific therapy, serious adenovirus illness can be managed only by
treating symptoms and complications of the infection
Adenovirus in Neonates and Immunosuppressed Patients
Fulminant hepatitis
Pneumonia
Encephalitis
adenovirus types 4 and 7 in the United States cause
Acute respiratory disease (ARD)
only for preventing ARD among military recruits
Vaccines were developed for adenovirus serotypes 4 and 7
Prevention of Human Adenovirus infection
Strict attention to good infection-control practices is effective for stopping nosocomial outbreaks of adenovirus-associated disease, such as epidemic keratoconjunctivitis
Maintaining adequate levels of chlorination is necessary for preventing swimming pool-associated outbreaks of adenovirus conjunctivitis.
Parvoviruses general concepts
This causes spontaneous abortion. Normal people can clear it up. This virus mimicks rubella.
Parvovirus B19)
infects erythrocytes only B19 in man It cant drive cells to go into S phase so it infects cells that are replicating. It spreads through the blood and ends up infecting erythrocyte precursors in the bone marrow.
Parvovirus B19 Genome
ssDNA, inverted terminal repeats (ITR)
Non enveloped

NS gene required for viral gene expression and/or DNA replication

VP1 and 2 encode capsid proteins
Parvovirus B19 replication
Inoculates Nasal cavity
Causes Viremia and fever
Infection and lyses of erythroid precursor cells in bone marrow
Immune complexes form and deposit
Erythema infectiosum rash:Slapped cheek
Parvovirus B19 symptoms
fever (nonspecific flulike symptoms – sore throat, chills, malaise)
arthralgia (joint pain - adults)
polyarthritis (in adults, which can last for weeks or longer)
myalgia (muscle pain)
slightly decreased hemoglobin levels
Patients with chronic hemolytic anemia (sickle cell, thalasemia), parvovirus b19 can lead to
transient aplastic crisis; severe reticulocytopenia
Parvovirus mostly happens in
in children and adolescents ages 4-15 years of age
Parvoviruses B19 occurs mostly when
late winter and spring

Transmission via respiratory droplets and oral secretions
Diagnosis of Human Parvovirus B19
Clinical presentation
ELISA for B19 antigen specific IgM (and IgG)
Viral DNA by polymerase chain reaction assay (i.e. distinguish from rubella in pregnant women)
Virus isolation not performed
Treatment of Human Parvovirus B19
No specific treatment or control generally required
Passive immune globulin therapy for chronic or persistent B19 infections
Papillomavirus characteristics
Icosahedral nucleocapsid
Non enveloped
DS circular
Papillomavirus codes for
: 7-8 early polypeptides (E1-E8), 2 late or structural capsid proteins - L1 and L2
For replication Papillomavirus uses
host replication machinery in nucleus
Papillomavirus has Tropism for
Stratified squamous epithelium of skin and mucous membranes
Papillomavirus Disease
: Induces epithelial proliferation, wart, benign and malignant tumors (e.g cervical carcinoma
How does Papillomavirus reproduces in the skin?
It causes cells to proliferate and switches genome profile as it goes from basal layer to cornified layer of the epithelium. This virus infects basal layers, so virus gets here by injury. P97 is very active E 6 AND 7 are spliced. E6 binds to P53. E7 binds to PRB. So their expression drives cell into S cycle. So basal layer that was already proliferating, it starts to even more proliferation. P670 is activated in the superbasal layer to turn on E1- E 5 . In granular layer layer, p670? is off and viral molecules are produeced and host cells are killed.
Papillomavirus clinical manifestations
Symptom
none

Signs
warts

What are the Papillomavirus serotypes that cause genital mucosa cancer
HPV 16, 18 and 31
Disease states associated with Papillomavirus infection
