DNA Virus Part 1 Flashcards
(100 cards)
Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) Viruses Family:
- Adenoviridae
- Hepadnaviridae
- Herpesviridae
- Papillomaviridae
- Parvoviridae
- Polyomaviridae
- Poxviridae
All DNA viruses have double stranded DNA, except:
Parvovirus
All DNA viruses have LINEAR DNA, except:
(circular, supercoiled)
POLYOMAVIRUS
PAPILLOMAVIRUS
HEPADNAVIRUS
All DNA viruses are Icosahedral, except:
POXVIRUS (Complex)
All DNA viruses replicate in the nucleus, except:
POXVIRUS (cytoplasm, carries own DNA dependent RNA polymerase)
All DNA virus are enveloped, except:
Adenoviridae
Papillomaviridae
Parvoviridae
Polyomaviridae
First isolated from the culture of human
adenoids and tonsils in the early 1950ss,
hence the name
Adenovirus
Large 70-80 nm, icosahedral, double stranded linear DNA virus, naked/unenveloped.
Adenovirus
MOT of Adenovirus
Respiratory (aerosol droplets)
fecal oral
Direct contact (eye)
Adeno virus site of latency:
Replication in oropharynx
Currently, 85 serotypes have been
described.
ADENOVIRUS
Pharyngitis, conjunctivitis, coryza
ADENOVIRUS URT (serotype 3, 7, 8, 19, 37)
bronchitis, atypical pneumonia
ADENOVIRUS LRT (serotype 14)
acute gastroenteritis (infantile diarrhea)
ADENOVIRUS GIT [serotype: 40, 41]
acute hemorrhagic cystitis
ADENOVIRUS GUT (serotype: 7,11,21)
Adenovirus Incubation period:
Respiratory Disease: 2-14 days
Gastroenteritis: 3-10 days
Common upper R.T.I includes colds,
tonsillitis, pharyngitis ,pharyngo conjunctival
fever, and sometimes croup.
ADENOVIRUS
Infections of the eye and conjunctivitis
often accompany respiratory infection
(in children, otitis media is often a
complication of the respiratory disease.)
ADENOVIRUS
Lower R.T.I can be severe in children.
Pneumonia is often fatal in
infants and young children
Adenovirus
Cause less than 5% of all acute respiratory
disease in the general population;
ADENOVIRUS
However, they account for up to 15% of all
acute diarrheal infections in children
Adenovirus
Diagnosis for Adenovirus
1.cell culture (HE-p-2)
2.cowdry type B intranuclear basophilic
inclusion
3.EIA for gastroenteritis 40,41
4.PCR
Adenovirus prevention
Vaccine for (Adenovirus 4 and 7) for military recruits
Serum Hepatitis
Hepatitis B
