(1) Arthropod Virus Flashcards
(126 cards)
Arboviruses are also called what?
Arthropod-Borne Virus
Carried by infected vector
maintained in nature through biological transmission between susceptible vertebrate hosts by BLOODFEEDING ARTHROPODS
Arboviruses
how is the vertebrate infection occurs?
infected arthropod take a BLOOD MEAL - host is bitten passing the virus from the arthropod
What are the three famillies under the Arboviruses?
- Togaviridae
- Bunyaviridae
- Flaviviridae
Disease Mechanism of Toga Viruses and
Flavivirus
Viruses are Cytolytic, except
Rubella
Cytolytic = cell lysis
Disease Mechanism of Toga Viruses and
Flavivirus
what does the virus establish?
systemic infection and viremia
Disease Mechanism of Toga Viruses and
Flavivirus
Viruses are good inducers of?
interferon
(accounts for the flu-like symptoms)
Disease Mechanism of Toga Viruses and Flavivirus
Flavivirus
what are the exception form the families that arent arboviruses
RUBELLA AND HEPATITIS C
Disease Mechanism of Toga Viruses and Flavivirus
infect cells of the MONOCYTEMACROPHAGE LINEAGE.
Flaviviruses
Escape phagocytic process of the lineage
Disease Mechanism of Toga Viruses and Flavivirus
enhance flavivirus
infection via Fc receptors on the macrophage
Nonneutralizing antibody
if u see this card
study the table for symptoms
In the Man-Arthropod-Man cycle
what is the cycle
- Arthropod (may or may not be infected)
- Arthropod had a blood meal on the human (may or may not be infected)
- The human that may or may not be infected can pass it to the arthropod - vice versa (one of them is infected as the principle)
- Arthropod can now transmit it to other susceptible human
In the Animal-Arthropod-Man cycle
what is the cycle
- Infected animal gets bitten by the arthropod
- Arthropod can infect other animal
- Infected arthropod can infect the human after a blood meal
same w/ Man-Arthropod-Man cycle excpt infected animal as main source
Enumerate the arhtropod vectors
- Mosquitoes

● St. Louis encephalitis
● EEE, WEE, VEE etc.
under the Ticks for arhtropod vectors, what infection can be acquired?
● Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever
● Various tickborne encephalitis’s etc.
under the Sandflies for arhtropod vectors, what infection can be acquired?
● Sicilian Sandfly Fever
● Rift Valley fever
