Q

Where does Enterovirus gives rise to minor and major viremia

A

Minor= regional lymph node
Major= Reticuloendothelial tissue

17
Q

What is Poliomyelitis

A

Caused by Poliovirus( Enterovirus— Picornavirus)
3 stereotypes = PV1,PV2,PV3
Minimal heterotypic immunity
1 in 200 infections leads to irreversible paralysis
Vaccines = IPV, OPV

A

Myocarditis
Pericarditis

20
Q

What does Echovirus causes

A

Aseptic meningitis

21
Q

What does Enterovirus 70 causes

A

Hem. Conjunctivitis

22
Q

What does Enterovirus 71 causes

A

CNS disease
Hand foot mouth disease

23
Q

Features of Rhabdoviruses

A

Neurotropic virus
Enveloped
SsRNA

24
Q

How is the rabies best spreaded

A

When the bite of the infected animal is deep enough to allow the virus to reach the deep skeletal muscle.

25
How is the transmission of Rhinovirus
Aerosols Direct contact
26
How is the genome of Rhabdoviruses
GpG Bullet-shaped Enveloped M protein N protein L protein P protein Helical Nucleocapsid
27
How is the Initial infection of Rhabdoviruses
Replication in muscle or subepi Spreads to nerves by binding to Ach receptors
28
What are the stages of Classical Rabies
Prodromal stage=fever,headache,malaise.. Sensory excitation stage=hyperactivity,hallucinations.. Coma and paralysis phase=paralysis and respiratory problems, death
29
What is the post-exposure vaccine to Rabies
Human Diploid Cell Vaccination
30
How is the genome of Reovirus
Non enveloped DsRNA-segmented
31
Which virus is the agents of Viral Gastroentritis in children
Rotavirus
32
Features of Rotavirus
Very stable Remain infective Resistant to acidic pH 11 gene segments Three concentric capsid
33
Which viruses are in the family of Reovirus
Rotavirus Orthoreovirus Coltivirus Orbivirus
34
What are the gene segments of Rotavirus
VP7 — G glycoprotein —— Genotypes: G1P,G2P,G3P,G4P,G9P VP4— P protease sensitive ——Serogroups: A,B,C,D,E,F (inner core structural proteins)
