Q

Pathogenesis of Influenza viruses

A

Attachment of Hemagglutinin on Sialyc acid receptor - internalized by endocytosis - Uncoating (by M2 protein by causing H+ influx) - Then negative sense RNA is converted to Positive RNA sense with help of RNA Dependent RNA Polymerase - release of virus with the help of Neuraminidase

Q
