12
What are the 4 general structures a virus can be/have?
1. Naked = iscosahedron capsule
2. Icosahedron capsule inside envelope
3. Protein helix inside envelope
4. Complex
13
Describe characteristics of naked viruses.
Stable
Released from host via cell lysis
Spreads easily
Symmetry
Ab immunity likely to be enough
14
Describe characteristics of enveloped viruses.
Labile - easily broken down, must stay wet
Released via budding off host cell membrane
Likely to need Ab & cell mediated immunity
15
Give the endings for order, family, sub family, and genus of viruses.
Order = -virales
Family = -viridae
Subfamily = -virinae
Genus = -virus
16
Define serotype.
Antigens that characterize a group of viruses (NOT Abs against a virus)
