Picornavirus
General Characteristics
ss(+) RNA, non-enveloped
icosahedral capsid

1. Enteroviruses= acid stabile
2. Rhinoviruses= acid labile
Rhinovirus
Picornavirus= ss(+) RNA, nonenveloped, icosahedral capsid

-->acid labile, URT infection
-->killed by CITRIC ACID
-->many serotypes make Ab resistance pointless

-->optimal temperature for replication is 33C

BINDING= use ICAM as viral receptor, endocytosis

REPLICATION= creation of a long polypeptide in the cytoplasm

RELEASE= using hte lytic cycle
Rhinovirus
Pathobiology
URI with maximal replication at 33C

-->viral binding to ICAM in the respiratory epithelium

-->local inflammation induces increased ICAM expression
---------> increased viral spreading

-->use of lytic cycle for viral release

-->secondary bacterial sinusitis common

intramuscular administration
-->no local mucosal IgA (poor protection in gut)
-->no chance of reversion

administered orally

-->development of local mucosal IgA
-->reversion in 1:3 million cases with PARALYTIC POLIO

-->because of local IgA, capable of interrupting ongoing fecal-oral transmission
Four outcomes of Polio infections:
1. Asymptomatic

2. Abortive: nausea, vomiting, febrile

3. Nonparalytic polio: aseptic meningitis, still neck, fever

4. Paralytic: flaccid paralysis, painful muscle spasms
Poliovirus
Pathogenesis
Oral-->Fecal Transmission

1. Replication in the oropharyngeal and sm. intestine mucosa
2. Replication in lymphoid tissue (tonsils, Peyer's patches)

3. Viral spread via viremia or retrograde movement in neurons
(preference for motor neurons in anterior horn)

4. Paralysis via death of motor neurons (motor paralysis); Flaccid paralysis from invasion of the brain stem

5. Virus is shed in feces for months following infection.
What vaccine against polio is preferred for erradication?
Sabin (Oral Polio Vaccine)

-->stimulation of local mucosal IgA will interrupt the fecal-oral transmission
(virus shed in feces months following infection)
-->co-infection with other enteroviruses hinders immunization

-->risk of reversion in 1:3 million cases
-->cannot be administered to immunocompromised
-->must be kept cool
