Q

How do Neuraminidase inhibitors prevent the release of virus?

A

Prevent release of virus and spread of virus because hemagglutinin of virus is still bound/attached to the sialic acid containing receptors on surface of infected cell.

Q

Differentiating Infected from Vaccinated Animal -DIVA

A

Vaccination with only live attenuated vaccines leads to a population of an antibody response that does not differ from the antibody response developed after natural infection.

Use of DIVA marker vaccines have a portion of the pathogen - less antigens than natrual strains

Q

Mechanism of action of Amantadine

A
  1. Compound clog M2 channel and prevent it from pumping protons into the virion
  2. Viral RNAs remain bound to M1 and cannot enter nucleus

25
Mechanism of Action of Acyclovir
1. Acyclovir molecules → Acyclovir monophosphate by thymidine kinase enzyme 2. Host cell adds two phosphates to acyclovir triphosphate. Transported to the nucleus 3. Two phosphates are cleaved by virus to form acyclovir monophosphate 4. Acyclovir monophosphate incorporated into growing DNA strand in place of a G base by Herpes Simplex DNA polymerase enzyme 5. DNA stops growing - lacks attachment point necessary for insertion of additional nucleotides
26
Applies to animals/ persons who are known to be ill with contagious disease
Isolation
27
Major toxicities of AZT/ZDV
Anemia Granulocytopenia
28
Applies to those who have been exposed to contagious disease
Quarantine
29
Antiviral Drugs
Drugs that interfere with the ability of a virus to infiltrate a target cell or target different stages of replication/synthesis of components required for replication of the virus
30
Live- Attenuated Virus Vaccine
Vaccines produced from naturally occurring attenuated viruses
31
Examples of Neuraminidase inhibitors
Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) Laninamivir Zanamivir Peramivir
32
Acyclovir
Antiviral activity primarily restricted to herpesvirus Administration as a prodrug, inactive form Requires virus enzymes in infected host cell to convert itself into active form, which then interferes with virus replication
33
Mechanism for Resistance of Acyclovir
Absent production of viral thymidine kinase due to mutation in virus genome Partial decrease in the production of viral thymidine kinase Altered viral thymidine kinase substrate specificity that results in phosphorylation of thymidine Mutations in viral DNA polymerase that causes decreased binding of acyclovir-triphosphate to viral DNA polymerase
34
4 "w" of Immunization
Where When Who Why
35
Features of a good vaccine
Safe to use Effective against diverse strains of same pathogen Few side effects Give long lasting, appropriate protectio Easy to administer Inexpensive Benefits outweigh the risk
36
Neuraminidase Inhibitors
Inhibit neuraminidase (NA) enzyme \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Synthesized by Influenza A and B viruses
37
Antivirals can act on what processes of viral replication
Receptor binding Uncoating Nucleic acid and protein synthesis Assembly Release Modulate immune system
38
Family of nucleoside ananlog reverse transcriptase inhibititors (NRTIs) Resembles thymine deoxyribonucelotide - triphosphate
ADV / AZT
39
Antiviral chemotherapeutic agents are not common in veterinary practice because
High cost of development Restriction to a single virus and specific animal species Difficulty in development of broadspectrum with low cytotoxicity Absence of rapid diagnostic techniques
40
Amantadine inhibits the replication of influenza A viruses by what mechanism?
Blocking uncoating of the virus
41
Antibiotics
Types of medications that destroy or slow down the growth of the bacteria
42
External Farm Biosecurity
Measures taken to prevent an infectious disease from entering or leaving the farm
43
Disinfection
Process that eliminates many or all pathogenic microorganisms, except bacterial spores on inanimate objects
44
Viral infection stimulates what part of the immune system
Interferon
45
Antimycotics
Medications used to treat fungal diseases
46
Many agents that interfere virus replication are toxic to the cell because
Viruses are intimately dependent on the metabolic pathways of their host cell for their replication
47
Oseltamivir - Tamiflu
Prodrug that after its metabolism in the liver, releases an active metabolite that inhibits neuraminidase
48
Sterilization Methods
Moist Heat Dry Heat Chemical methods Radiation Sterile Filtration
49
Decontamination
Process or treatment that renders a medical device, instrument or environemental surface safe to handle
50
Seconary mechanism of Amantadine to stop viral replication
pH change that result from M2 inhibition alter the conformation of hemagglutinin during its intracellular transport later in replication
51
Interferons
Class of proteins that has antiviral effects and modulate functions of the immune system
52
Antiparasitics
Class of medications which are indicated for the treatment of parasitic diseases
53
Mechanism of Uncoating of Influenza virus A
1. Endosomal vesicle containing virus particle move toward cell nucleus causing pH to drop 2. Viral HA protein undergoes conformational rearrangement 3. Viral RNAs released into cytoplasm and transported to nucleus 4. Viral RNAs bound to M1 protein 5. M1 forms a shell that underlies the lipid membrane 6. Viral M2 protein form channel to pump protons from endosme into interior virion 7. Protons lower pH releasing viral RNA from M1 protein
54
Acyclovir can be used in the treatment of
Herpesvirus infections Feline Herpesvirus 1 Equine Herpesvirus 1
