Outbreaks are usually caused by contaminated dairy products. Undercooked meats such as chicken and hot dogs have also been involved.
50
Diagnosis of Listeria
* Isolation from blood by blood culture and from CSF on blood agar and from stools on listeria selective media. * Isolation is enhanced if specimens are refrigerated for few days before inoculation "cold enhancement". * Identification is done by gram stain and detection of tumbling motility and positive catalase. * It produces Beta- haemolysis, on sheep blood agar, which is enhanced in the vicinity of a streak of Staph, aureus, i.e. CAMP test positive

Function of pol gene proteins
After viral fusion with cell, RT transcribes the genome RNA into double stranded DNA (provirus), which integrates into the host cell DNA by the action of the integrase enzyme. Viral mRNA is transcribed from the proviral DNA and transported to the cytoplasm, where it is translated into large polyproteins. These are cleaved by the protease enzyme to produce the different viral structures and enzymes
165
Mode of transmission of HIV

170
Viral mechanisms in the latent infection
a- Latent infection of host cells as a provirus. b- Rapid genetic mutation. c- Trapping of infectious virus in lymphoid tissues in and on the surface of follicular dendritic cells, which act as reservoirs.
171
II-Suppression of immune mechanisms which are more evident during late stages of infection of HIV
a-Deletion of CD4 T cells, b-Deletion of HIV-specific CTL clones, c- Dysfunction of CTLs due to; decreased production of IL-2, and decreased expression of MHC-I by the action of viral genes, leading to decreased recognition of virus infected cells by CTLs. d- Impaired functions of APC. e- Interference with humoral response which are T cell dependent
172
Clinical picture of acute stage of HIV infection

What west nile virus and sindbis virus cause
mild meningitic disease
201
What are the flaviviruses
YDW yellow fever, dengue fever, west nile fever
202
Main reservoir of the yellow fever
monkeys
203
Pathogenesis and clinical picture of Yellow fever
* The virus is introduced by the bite of an infective mosquito. * It multiphes in the local lymph nodes and spreads to the blood this coincides with sudden onset of fever, headache, myalgias and photophobia; some patients recover at this point. * The virus may reach the liver, spleen, kidney and bone marrow leading to their destruction. * This results in jaundice, haemorrhages and proteinuria. It may affect the heart or GIT leading to shock, prostration haematemesis (black vomit). * Death may result from kidney or liver failure.
204
What are the bunya viruses
Rift valley fever and sandfly fever
205
Man is infected with rift valley fever by
epizootic in domestic animals by coming in contact with infected animal body fluids or mosquito bites.
206
Animals infected with rift valley fever and how they infected
sheep and domestic animals infected with Aedes mosquito
207
Person to person transmission of west nile fever by
Blood transfusion or organ transplantation

209
What growing culture of small pox virus
grows on the chorioallantoic membrane of chick embryo producing characteristic lesions called "pocks"
210
is the first disease to be controlled by immunization
Small pox virus
211
Reintroduced as biologic weapon
Yersinia pestis Small pox virus
212
Producing pocks lesions
Small pox virus
213
Is the agent used for preparation of smallpox vaccine
Vaccinia virus
214
Mode of transmission of small pox virus
The virus was transmitted by respiratory aerosol or by direct contact with skin lesions or contaminated fomites
215
Vaccination of small pox virus
live vaccinia virus
216
Clinical picture of small pox
* It is a systemic disease with a viraemic stage and final localization in the skin causing the rash * The rash started on the face and extremities then appeared on the trunk. * The rash evolved through stages from macules to papules, vesicles, pustules and finally crusts in 2-3 weeks. * Crusts fell off leaving scarred area.
217
Immunity followed the smallpox vaccine (vaccinia virus)
humoral and cell mediated immunity
218
How small pox vaccine prepared
The vaccine is prepared from vesicular lesions (lymph) produced on shaved skin of calves or from virus grown on chick embryo; the final vaccine contains glycerol to stabilize the virus and phenol to destroy bacteria.
219
Causes of successful eradication of small pox
1- Man is the only host, and there is no animal reservoir of infection 2- There is only one stable serotype of the virus 3- There is no carrier state or subclinical infection 4- Effective vaccine that is highly immunogenic and was used world wide 5- A surveillance-containment program was used by the WHO. Smallpox cases are easily recognized clinically. Cases were traced and all susceptible contacts were identified and vaccinated. The vaccine is protective if given within 4 days after exposure
220
virus acquired by contact with wild animals killed for food or for their skins
Monkey pox
221
Clinical picture of monkeypox
Symptoms are similar to smallpox, but differ in occurrence of lymphadenopathy
222
Causes pulmonary distress syndrome
Monkey pox
223
How to differentiate monkeypox from smallpox
Monkeypox is antigenically distinct and produces different lesions on the chorioallantoic membrane of chick embryo
224
Causes human warts (benign skin nodules)
Molluscum contagiosum
225
How Molluscum contagiosum is transmitted
close contact and sexually
