Is this true or fale: The presence or absence of an envelope affects how viruses interact with their host cells, as well as their resistance to environmental conditions such as heat, chemicals, and radiation. Enveloped viruses tend to be more fragile and sensitive to these factors compared to naked viruses.

True

viruses that last longer on surfaces when you treat them with disinfectant

naked viruses

what example would this be ? retroviridae

family

what example would this be lentivirus

genus

HIV can be considered ________

it can be considered as a pandemic, as many people are contracting them these days. Why, because its slow and for ex: a person with HIV can live for about 23 years or more.

Most lentiviral vectors are based on the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV): true or false.

that is true

name this description : (attachment to the host cell) Spike going into the host cell (this happens in envelope and naked virus) just depends since envelope has the spikes on the external naked has it on their protein coat and in the best of your knowledge, describe what is going on in this factor

adsorption attachment to the host cell virus have attatchment site: recognizes protein or glycoprotein of host cell membrane.

name this description : naked viruses must enter by endocytosis

penetration

there are two ways envelope can enter the host cell, what are they?

1) enter via endocytosis 2) enter by fusion

what do you figure the quantity would be when it enters by fusion and endocytosis?

the quantity would be bigger

what virus will keep the cell alive and making more virus (get released shortly)- can get into naive cells (make more symptoms more severe) and infected as well

this would be called an envelope virus

true or false. One of the fundamentalism of creating an infection is getting the nucleic acid inside the cell?

that is indeed true

what's capsid protein called?

it is called the capsomeres

Multiplication of viruses: 1) spike protein 2) capsomeres to make capsid 3)nucleic acids now that we have the rewuirement we need to do : what is the next step to do?

maturation and assembly

briefly describe what maturation and assembly mean, briefly

new virus particles are assembled from nucleic acids and capsomeres and nucleocapsids are formed

describe this description: contains spike proteins to bud out'exit' " do it again and again until it kills itself" host cell remains alive for a long time

this would be an envelope release, the envelope forms the plasma membrane steady and release of mature enveloped viruses over time host cell remains alive for a long time

what are the two types of infection

1) acute infections 2) persistent infections

persistent infections are divided into four subgroups, what are they

1) acute infection followed by late complications 2) chronic infection 3)slow infection 4)latent infection

measles can go to cause subacute sclerosing pan-encephalitis

true

slow viral infections: after initial infection the amount of virus present increases over a long period of time

the initial infection is followed by asymptomatic period eventually a slow, and progressive disease results: HIV - HIV can be transmitted at any point following initiation infection HIV enetually develops in AIDS

Viruses and cancer:

viral dna can transform normal animal cells into malignant cancer -only certain viruses have this capbaility -oncogenes - animals cells have normal genes called proto-oncogenes -when mutations occur in these genes they become oncogenes this results in an uncontrolled cell growth which leads to tumor formation the mutation can occur as a result of mutagens (carcinogens)

true or false: oncogenic viruses : viral dna is inserted into host cell chromosomes

this is true

there may not be oncogenes present in the viral DNA ?

false

oncogenic viruses can also ause proto-oncogenes to be over expressed which leads to translation and this over expression results in the proto oncogene becoming an oncogene

false, it would lead to transcription

how a single protein can be infectious?

We have a gene that makes this protein called NP Normal protein this protein normally does not do harm = protein has no known function infected animals have teh same protein but dif form Prion protein This PP can convert NP into a prion protein shape eventually all np are converted into the PP shape this results in disease

when you have chicken pox, is it actually clearly gone, or is it still there, just 'sleeping'?

when you have chicken, IT IS NEVER TRULY gone, in other words 'sleeping' might be another term to describe it,may be reactivated years later to shingles

describe what this means: this type of infection is usually very brief, in terms of duration, and the symptoms depends on your immune system

this is known as a acute infection

***you have to kill virus that are replicating (however you have to be very careful) that you do not take any drugs that will clear the good virus******

just a fact, not a question

true or false. chemotheraphy is really toxic in other words (it doesnt know what cells to kill and what not to kill)

true

this is envelope virus, and long period of time (after the acute period)---> potentially forever, how it'll stay depends on your body

persistent viral infections

true or false. not every chronic infection has is asymptomatic or symptomatic.

true

describe what this means: this looks like it's gone but it is NOT GONE gone:

this is known as acute infection with late complications

we start here (was never there before) get some control, if you don't eliminate what is it called:

this is called persistent

describe what this means: stay relatively high but lower than acute (but still relatively high) always at detectible level, disease may or may not be present

chronic infections

describe what cirrhoris mean?

is a liver disease, people who consume a lot of alcohol could be at risk as well

describe what this means? in terms of infections gradually creeps up

slow viral infections

describe what rapid progressor vs. Long term non-progressor

rapid progressor= became aggressively HIV affector, developing aids in much shorter year long term progressor- takes more than 10 years to reach AIDS = fatal outcomes

why are they different when the same virus is affecting them for long term non progressor, rapid progressor

it depends on your immune system

DESCRIBE WHAT THIS MEANS: this is undetectable (but this reactivate in any single time ) this is poorly understood, associated with _______ reactiviting = immunocompromised

latent viral infections

DNA virus "transformation" can actually cause what?

can cause cancer

what type of genes to we have that WE CANNOT ABUSE, or it will cause tumor or cancer

protooncogenes

what does protooncogenes, and oncogenes stand for?

proto- before onco- cancer proto oncogenes- can lead into cancer onco- cancer genic/genes= produce

is carcinogen a chemical?

yes it is a chemical

Human papilloma virus causes what, and define what it is?

a wart, and it is a tumor (belign tumor )

produces very similar to strep throat

this is known as epstein-barr virus

may cause nasopharyngeal cancer (ultimately B-cell cancer)

epstein barr virus

these are not virus(but they are kinda like virus) -they are molecules and infectious agents -RNA make you sick none that infect human

viroids

brains starts to form sponge form in the brain this is called

prions

sponge like holes in brain tissue can result in a disease called a

transmissible spongiform encephalopathy

prions are resistant? and why are they not easily destroyed by high temperature?

yes they are resistant, and they are not easily destroyed because they are already unfolded

As we know, virus have a very few of their own enzymes, is it because they're ONLY gonna bring things they wants, that the cell does not ?

yes this is indeed true

where is the spikes located?

lcoated inside the envelope

what does spikes determine?

they determine which cell to enter to

can never create a long lasting infectious (kill the bateria) what type of virus is this?

naked virus

for persistent viral infections, we are aware that virus particles are continously present in the body, where is this coming from?

released from infected cells by budding

true or false. Persistent infection may or may not cause disease

this statement is true

capsid+ nucleic acids =

virus

Most frequently prions are carried in ____ Sheep infected with prions is called ___ The infected sheep is eaten by cows and the cow develops _____ The cow is eaten by humans and the human develops _______

food scrapie mad cow disease variant creutzfeld-jakob disease

this step makes use primarily of host metabolic enzymes , and both dna and rna virus have the viral proteins synthesized in the cytoplasm as well, capsomeres are constructed.
