Test 2: positive sense RNA Flashcards
(111 cards)
positive sense RNA
- RNA is infectious
- first step is translation by host ribosomes to make viral proteins
- will make - sense intermediate RNA
if the RNA virus is the same sense as the host mRNA then the viral RNA is —
positive sense
infectious
can undergo translation into proteins right away
to replicate must go through - sense intermediate
how does a + sense RNA virus replicate
positive is changed into a - sense intermediate RNA
positive copies are made from this
what is the initial event for negative sense RNA viruses
transcription
brings its own polymerase
change into a positive sense RNA that can be seen by host ribosomes to start translation into proteins
negative or positive sense RNA are not infectious
negative
need to be turned into + sense by transcrption first (turned into mRNA)
positive or negative sense RNA viruses bring their own polymerase?
negative sense
initial event → transcription into mRNA by viruses own RNA polymerase
not infectious
turned into + sense intermediate RNA
two types of picornaviruses
swine vesicular disease virus
foot and mouth disease virus
picornaviruses are —
positive sense
small non- enveloped icosahedral, linear ssRNA
when picornaviruses enter a cell what happens?
positive sense RNA acts as mRNA and uses host ribosomes to make a polyprotein
host proteases come and cleave into structural and non structural proteins
picornaviruses- positive sense, small non- enveloped icosahedral, linear ssRNA (FMDV, swine vessicular disease)CAP
the major problem with FMDV is the —
morbidity - cause sores/vesicles in mouth and on feet
picornaviruses- positive sense, small non- enveloped icosahedral, linear ssRNA (FMD and swine vesicular disease)CAP
tranmission of FMDV is by
aerosol inhalation and
eating of contaminated food.
picornaviruses- positive sense, small non- enveloped icosahedral, linear ssRNA (FMD and swine vesicular disease) CAP
FMDV replicates in — causing a primary viremia by 24 hours.
pharynx
picornaviruses- positive sense, small non- enveloped icosahedral, linear ssRNA (FMD and swine vesicular disease)
symptoms of FMDV
salivation, slobbering.
Vesicles in mouth.
Vesicles and lesions on the feet → lameness.
Secondary bacterial infections are common.
picornaviruses- positive sense, small non- enveloped icosahedral, linear ssRNA (FMD and swine vesicular disease)
what are three FMD like viruses
- Swine Vesicular Disease (picornavirus)
- Vesicular Stomatitis (Rhabdovirus)
- Vesicular Exanthema of Swine (Calicivirus).
foot and mouth disease virus- picornavirus- positive sense linear ssRNA
Rapid diagnosis of FMDV is most important so that —- procedures can begin.
quarantine and eradication
picornaviruses- positive sense, small non- enveloped icosahedral, linear ssRNA (FMD and swine vesicular disease)
samples of FMDV should be transported
frozen or in glycerol buffer at pH=7.6

In countries where FMDV has been eliminated, a — epidemic can develop rapidly.
virgin soil
FMDV very stable in environment, very contagious
no vaccine in erradicated countries
FMDV is incredibly efficient at shutting down the host cell and producing up to — per infected cell within several hours after infection.
1 million virions
picornaviruses- positive sense, small non- enveloped icosahedral, linear ssRNA (FMD and swine vesicular disease)
when does FMDV virus begin to shed?
24 hours before onset of clinical signs
picornaviruses- positive sense, small non- enveloped icosahedral, linear ssRNA (FMD and swine vesicular disease)
Long distance spread of — can occur and is dependent on wind direction and speed, temperature, and humidity
FMDV
spread across english channel
picornaviruses- positive sense, small non- enveloped icosahedral, linear ssRNA (FMD and swine vesicular disease)
FMDV can survive in —- meats
frozen, cured, and partially cooked
picornaviruses- positive sense, small non- enveloped icosahedral, linear ssRNA (FMD and swine vesicular disease)
why does US not vaccinate for FMDV
false positive
erradiacated from USA
many different strains- might not be covered
Humans can act as — of FMD
physical carriers
on clothing, shoes, vehicles ect.

symptoms of FMDV in humans
mild common cold or asymptomatic
