(121 cards)
Paramyxoviruses and Rubella Virus
All viruses initiate infection via the respiratory tract & limited to respiratory epithelia except
measles & mumps (dessiminated, viremia is present)
enumerate the structure of paramyxovirus
- Pleomorphic
- enveloped viral genome: linear, (-) ss non-segmented RNA
- RNP
- Matrix Protein
- Hemagglutinin-neuromanidase (HN) protein
- Fusion Protein
structure - TOF
HN protein may or may not have hemagglutinin or neurominadase activity
True
Structure: Fusion protein - TOF
Majority of the virus has hemolysin activity
T
Outstanding characteristics of paramyxovirus
- Antigenically stable
- Particles are labile yet highly Infectious
