(1) Orthomyxoviridae Flashcards
(92 cards)
what is the common MOT for the family of orthomyxo, paramyxo, and rubella virus?
inhalation of contaminated respiratory droplets, large aerosol droplets
orthomyxo, paramyxo, and rubella virus shows clinical manifesttion when it infects the?
Upper respiratory tract infection
sometimes lower, or viremia (disseminated clinical picture)
major determinant of morbidity and mortality caused by respiratory disease and outbreak of the infection
Orthomyxoviridae (Influenza Virus)
common na sakit ang influenza (flu season)
what is the unique characteristic of Orthomyxoviridae?
Genetic reassrotment
why reoccurence of flu is possible for orthomyxoviridae?
Genetic reassortment (it creates new strain of virus every time)
mas malala pag flu season!

Influenza immunologic types
Only known to cause flu pandemic
Influenza A
Influenza immunologic types
Most stable; antigenically stable
Influenza C
Influenza immunologic types
Not associated with human infection
Influenza C and D
Influenza immunologic types
also antigenically stable
Not associated with human infection
Influenza D
or C (but C is MOST stable)
enumerate the important structure of unit of virus
- Nuceleoprotein (NP)
- vRNPs
- RNA Polymerase (PB1, PB2, PA)
- Matrix Protein (M1 and M2)
- Hemeagglutinin (HA)
- Neuraminidase (NA)
Structure of virus
associates with the viral RNA to form the ribonucleon protein (vRNPs)
Nuceleoprotein (NP)
Structure of virus
what is used to classify the influenza viruses
NP and M1
no cross reactivity with other structural protein
Structure of virus
forms the viral nucelocapsid
vRNPs (viral ribonucleoprotein complexes)
Structure of virus
Small protein (small sabi ni maam)
Responsible for transcription and replication of virus
RNA Polymerase (PB1, PB2, PA)
Structure of virus
Make the inner lining of the envelope
Matrix Protein 1
Structure of virus
Promote the assembly of the virion
Matrix Protein 1
Structure of virus
Responsible for the uncoating of the virion
Matrix Protein 2
