20
Q

Fungal diseases in the skin

A

Dermatophytes and candida

21
Q

Dermatophytes does what and is caused by what?

A

Break down keratin in the skin, know. As ringworm, and is caused by fungi such as epiderophyton and trichophyton

22

23
Q

What are 2 groups of parasitic worms

A

Fluke and tapeworm (primitive) and roundworms

24
Q

Virus characteristics

A

Very small, have only protein coat (capsid ) and nucleus acid (genome). Some have outer membrane called envelop. They are not cells and are neither prokaryotes or eukaryotes

25
Stages of viral replication
``` Attachment to host Penetration Uncoating Synthesis Maturation ```
26
Virus enters host cell how?
By endocytosis or fusion of the envelope
27
Uncoating of virus means?
Genome is released from inside the capsid
28
Two atypical viruses
Viroids and prions
29
Viroids are made up of?
Small pieces of rna with no protein
30
Why does influenza virus infect repeatedly?
It changes its surface proteins often so avoids immune response
31
Epidemiology is the study of?
Disease transmission
