Micro-virology Flashcards
(27 cards)
What is the definition of viruses
Viruses are intracellular pathogens that can only lived insid the host cells
Why virus cannot lives outside host cell
Becase it not has mechinery for self replication
Infectious particals of virus called
Virions
What is the definition of virion
Virion is a complete virus particle that can infect living tissue
What is the composition of virion
Virion composed of genome that incasced in protein coat and may or may not have envelop
Why antibiotices not effact on viruses?
Because the structure of viruse different from that bacteria and viruse not has cell wall ;peptidoglycan and other protein that antibiotics attack it
What definition of capsid?
Capsid is protein coat or shell that surround the nucleic acid genom
What is the function of capsid
1-sere as protective layer
2-give the shape of virus
Capsomeres are
Are projections from the capsid that seen in electron microscope and represent clusters of lipopeptide
What is the deffenition of DIFECTED VIRUS
Is avirus particles that functionally deficientin some aspect of replication
What is the definition of envelope
Is a lipid-containing membern surround some of virus particles ;it is acquire in viral matchoration by budding process through cellurar membern
The projection that exposed from envelop called
Peplomeres
Nucleiocapsid define as
Protein - nucleic acid complex that represent the packeged form of virus genome
Pseudovirions define as
It is particles that contain host DNA of viral DNA
and composed
When host DNA fragmented during infection and pieces of(dna) incorporated within the capsed protein
Pseudovirions can infect cells but cannot replicate
YES👍❤️
WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF viroide
It if virus particle that only contain single molecule of circuler RNA without protein coat or envelop
Which cause plant diseas and no cause human diseases
Viroide
What is the definition of prions
Are the infectious particles that composed solely of protein (no have nucleic acid
What is the range of viral size
From 20to 300 nm in diameter
What is the largest and smalkes virus
The smallest virus is pliovirus
And the largest virous is poxvirus
Virus genome+protein coat+virus - encoded enzyme =
Naked virus
Virus genome +protein coat +virus - encoded enzyme +host membrane with virus encoded glycoproteins =
Enveloped virus
Viruses are classified based on
1-type of genome(DNA;RNA;ds;ss;liner or circuler ;segmented or nonsegmented ;+senseor - sense
2-type of capsid(icosahedral ;helical;complex)
3-precense or abcense of envelope
Viruses are seperated into major groping called familieson the bases of
1-virion morphology
2-genomic structure
3-strategies of replication
