dsdna virus pt 1 Flashcards
(86 cards)
TRANSMISSION: Respiratory, fecal-oral and direct contact
ADENOVIRUS
26-45 kbp, Protein-bound to termini infections Naked
ADENOVIRUS
unique among icosahedral viruses bc it has “fibers” projecting from each of the 12 vertices or penton bases
ADENOVIRUS
DNA (13%), Protein (87%)
ADENOVIRUS
Hexon and penton capsomeres are the major components on the surface of the virus particle.
ADENOVIRUS
in adenovirus, it is are associated with hemagglutinating activity
Fibers
Replicate and produce disease in the: -
Respiratory
Gastrointestinal
Urinary Tracts
Eye
adenovirus
In immunocompromised: multiple organ disorders (hemorrhagic cystitis)
adeno
persist as latent infections in adenoids and tonsils
Group C viruses
PAPOVAVIRIDAE
A. Papillomaviridae (HPV types 1 to 58+)
B. Polyomaviridae (SV 40, BK and JC)
DNA (10%); Protein (90%)
HPV
Transmission: Direct contact (skin, sexual intercourse, through birth canal)
hpv
Causes stratum spinosum to thicken (warts)
hpv
has Koilocytes
hpv
: enlarged keratinocytes with clear haloes around shrunken nuclei
koilocytes
Benign oral and laryngeal papillomas; and anogenital warts (condylomata acuminata) are caused by
HPV-6 and 11.
Benign and malignant tumors ( Cervical CA
HPV-16 and 18):
Viral nucleic acid can be found in basal stem cells but late gene expression is restricted to the uppermost layer of differentiated keratinocytes.
hpv
Histopathologic examination of warts: prickle cell hyperplasia and hyperkeratosis
papillomaviridae
papillomaviridae treatment
opical Treatments
Cryotherapy
Electrocautery
Laser Therapy
Surgical Excision
vaccine that protects against HPV 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, 58
Gardasil 9
Major Proteins:T antigens (T and t antigens) – Involved in viral replication and oncogenesis
polyomavirus
– Structural proteins that form the viral capsid of polyomavirus
VP1, VP2, VP3 proteins
Transmission: Respiratory route (via aerosols or contaminated surfaces)
POLYOMAVIRUS
