Prevention-Vaccine
US very rare
After primary infection, virus spreads through blood reaching the liver-2ndary infection

Children are the most frequently affected in developing countries.
Causes mild liver damage and heals in two to three wks.
No Chronic infections with Hep A
Hep B
DNA DBL Strand
Enveloped Virus
Cycle is very unique in that it has reverse transcriptase
Hep B
Transmission by direct and indirect contact
Enveloped which is more sensitive to the environment
Vaccine has reduced the rates of liver cancer
Some chronic will clear infection, some will develop Cirhosis, liver failure or cancer
Hep B
Treatment Alpha interferon which prevents replication
Inhibitors of reverse transcriptase-can use HIV drugs

protein coat plus genetic material
Naked Viruses
Nucleocapsid is the virus
Enveloped Viruses
Nucleocapsid is covered by a lipid membrane
Virus Lysogenic cycle
Virus enters the cell
Integrates to the host genome and stays latent
Latency is roken and the virus switches to the lytic mode.
The host cell ruptures after a few cycles of replication
Viral particles are released and infect new cells.
Virus Lytic Cycle
Virus enters the cell, hijacks the host machinery and immediately initiates replication
The host cell ruptures after a few cycles of replication
Viral particles are released and infect new cells
Enteric Virus
Generally transmitted via fecal-oral route
Often cause gastoenteritis
Respiratory viruses
Usually inhaled via infected respiratory droples
Generally remain localized in respiratroy tract
Zoonotic Viruses
Transmitted from animal to human via animal vector
Sexually transmitted Virus
Can cause lesions on genitalia or cause systemic infection
Noravirus
Is a naked virus that lives in water and has infected cruise ships
Acute
Common cold
Replicate and will leave
Persistent
The ones that stay with you for a very long time.
Herpes is yours to keep
Longterm relationships most commonly the entire life of the host
Acute infections
usually of short duration
host may develop long-lasting immunity
Result in productive infections
i.e. measles virus disappears after the disease ends
Animal Virus Replication
Acute Infections
Attachment
Entry
Targeting
Uncoating
Exposing nucleic acid opens capsid hijacks cell machinery
Replication & Synthesis
Maturation

3 diff forms
latent
chronic

Targeting
Uncoating - exposing nucleic acid
Lytic Cycle
Replication and Synthesis
Maturation
Viral release
Spreading - within host
shedding and transmission
Lysogenic Cycle
Latency estalished
Reactivation
Replication and Synthesis
Maturation
Viral release
Spreading within host
Shedding and transmission
Latent Infections
Infection is followed by symptomless period, then reactivated
Infectious particles not detected until reactivation
Symptoms of reactivation and initial disease may differ like Herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2
and Chicknpox to shingles (zoster)
Chronic Infections
Infectious virus can be detected at all times
Disease may be present or absent during extendd times or may develop late
Best known example is Hep B and Hep C
Slow Infections
Infectious agent increases count slowly over long period of time
No Significan symptoms apparent during this time
Two groups of infectious agents cause slow infections - retroviruses(HIV) adn Prions
DL strand DNA viruses
are responsible for mos virus-induced tumors in humans
Cancers caused by DNA viruses result from interation of virla genome into hos DNA
Invade the host disrupting the gene creating a non-function gene.
Prions
Proteinaceous infectious agent
linked to a number of fatal human diseases
Cause brain degeneration with sponge like holes
called spongiform encphalopathies
sx appear years after infection
Prions
First discovered in Africa
converts normal protein to a prion protein which is a sick protein killin the brain cells
Viroids
are mainly a disease of coconuts
have no protein coat
Viroid RNA is circular and resistent to nuclease digestion
