WHAT is the process of naming viruses and placing them into a taxonomic system
VIRUS CLASSIFICATION
32
2 basis for CLASSIFICATION OF VIRUSES

33
2 main schemes for classification of viruses

2. Baltimore Classification System
34
HOW ARE viruses named?
Host - Symptom - "virus"
35
ICTV

- International Committee on the Nomenclature of Viruses
- International Union of Microbiological Societies
1. developing
2. refining
3. and maintaining a universal virus taxonomy
a.) order until species is ITALICIZED
b.) language is ENGLISH
36
ICTV
- adopted the principle that a "____ species is a ____ class of _____ that ____ a _____ ___ and ____ a ____ ____ ___"
" A virus species is a POLYTHETIC class of viruses that constitutes a replicating lineage and occupies a particular ecological niche"
37
ICTV PRINCIPLE - definitions
1. Polythetic
2. Replicating Lineage
3. Occupation of an ecological niche
1. a class whose members always have several properties in common although NO SINGLE COMMON attribute is present in all members
2. members of a species experience EVOLUTION OVER TIME with CONSEQUENCE VARIATION but still share a common ancestor
3. acknowledges that the BIOLOGY OF A VIRUS are fundamental components of the CHARACTERIZATION of a virus
38
What taxonomic category is added to viruses?
realm
39
6 realms of viruses
1. Riboviria
2. Monodnaviria
3. Duplodnaviria
4. Varidnaviria
5. Adnaviria
6. Ribozyviria
40
BALTIMORE CLASSIFICATION
- places viruses in how many groups?
- that are dependent on (4)? and designated by ____ ____
- named after?
- 7 groups
1. nucleic acid type (DNA or RNA)
2. strandedness (single or double)
3. sense (+ or -)
4. method of replication
- Roman Numerals
- David Baltimore
41
SENSE STRAND vs ANTISENSE STRAND
- transcribed or not into RNA
- nucleotide sequence
- contains codons or anti-codons
- bonds between it and the synthesizing RNA
+ (sense strand)
- not transcribed
- same nucleotide sequence as mRNA except thymine
- codons
- no hydrogen bonds
-
- transcribed (antisense)
- complementary nucleotide sequence to mRNA
- anti-codons
- hydrogen bonded
42
BALTIMORE CLASSIFICTION - 7 groups
I : dsDNA
II : ssDNA
III : dsRNA
IV : +ssRNA
