What is a strain
species of the same virus with different nucleotide sequence
What are the most common forms of viral genomes
ssRNA and dsDNA
Are all types of genomes medically important?
Yes
viral ssRNA are subdivided into _______ and _________ polarity
positive and negative
what is negative polarity?
antisense (cannot be used as a direct template for protein synthesis)
what is positive polarity?
sense (it can be used as protein template)
How is polarity commonly referred to/
positive-strand and negative-strand RNA viruses
What are the 2 types of capsid symmetry?
helical or icosahedral
What is the capsid constructed of?
multiple copies of a single polypeptide (helical), a small number of different polypeptides (icosahedral)
How are polypeptide units (protomers) bound to neighboring protomers?
H-bonding
What is called the nucleocapsid?
the complex of protomers and nucleic acid
How is the nucleic acid of a virus protected from its environment?
by being surrounded by the capsid
what is a capsomer?
structural subassemblies of icosahedral capsids
T/F. An important structural feature used in defining a viral family is the presence or absence of a lipi-containing membranse surrounding the nuclepcapsid.
TRUE
A virus that is not enveloped is referred to as a
naked virus
All of the helical viruses of animals are ________
enveloped and contain RNA
Eclipse period
represent the time elapsed from initial entry and disassembly of the parental virus to the assembly of the first progeny virion.
Is active synthesis of virus components occuring during the eclipse period?
Yes
Exponential growth
incrase of progeny increases exponentially for a time, then reaches a plateau, after which no additional progency yield occurs.
What is the growth limit of a virus within a cell limited to?
the rate at which the cell loses the synthetic capacity and structural integrity needed to produce new virus particles
Steps in the replication cycles of viruses
Adsoprtion, penetration, Uncoating, genome replication, assembly and release of progeny viruses,
Influenza Family
Orthomyxoviridae
Influenza Genome
ss (-) RNA segmented
Influenza Morphology
enveloped, helical
Influenza Receptor
sialic acid
Parainfluenza Family

HIV (acute phase) Family
Retroviridae
HIV ac genome
RNA
HIV ac Morphology
enveloped
HIV ac Receptor
CD4 & CCR5 or CXCR4
Can you get an earache with rhinovirus?
Yes
Is parainfluenza lytic?
No, it buds
parainfluenza transmission
Spread by droplets
What is influenzas interaction with the hose
non-lytic but cytopathic. Antigenic drift and shift allow the virus to avoid immunity and can result in pandemics. Buds from apical surface of respiratory cells (non-lytic)
Transmission of influenza
mostly respiratory secretions
influenza characteristics
8 hour onset, super high fever
rhinovirus disease
rhinitis/sore throat, common cold, afebrile
rhinovirus interaction with host
lytic
host cell rrange
highly species specific
Transmission of rhinovirus
direct contact, nasal secretions, fomites more important than aerosols
why are picornivaviridae fecal-oral?
acid stable, can live through digestion
rhinovirus interaction with host
lytic
rhinovirus host cell range
highly species specific
rhinovirus transmission
direct contact, nasal secretions, fomites more important than aerosols
What is the big difference between influenza and rhinovirus
translation timing
M1 in infleuza
M2 in influenza
Is rhinovirus released by budding?
NO, its not envelloped
be able to describe + and - and enveloped vs non enveloped
Tamaflu
blocks nerominidase- blocks the release of the virus from the cell
