Virus Flashcards
(18 cards)
Prokaryotes (ribosomes and example)
70s and bacteria
Eukaryotes (ribosomes and example)
80s and fungi/humans
Virus
- has RNA OR DNA (not both)
- surrounded by capsid (protein shell)
- final surrounded: envelop of phospholipids and glycoproteins
Envelope (virus)
-herpvirus and rabies
Non-enveloped (virus)
adenovirus
Capsid
houses DNA or RNA
RNA viruses (3 types)
1) positive stranded
2) negative stranded
3) RNA of retroviruses
Types of RNA viruses (shapes)
1) Icosahedral
2) Helical
3) Complex
4) Helical Enveloped
5) Complex Coat
Orthomyxoviridae
- influenza viruses A,B,C
- HA can attach to host (upper resp tract –> absorption)
Paramyxoviridae
- mumps
- -lymph nodes
- measles
- -10 day incubation
- parainfluenza virus
- -croup in children
- -stridor, barking cough
- respiratory syncytial virus
- -winter and spring in children
RNA virus Infecting Liver
Hep A, C, D, E, G
*hep B - DNA virus
Coronaviridae
- Corona virus: cx of cold
- SARS
Picornaviridae
- rhinovirus
- hand to hand spread
Coxsackie viruses A and B
- picornaviridae
- A; herpangina - small red-based vesicle over back of throat
Rhabdoviridae
rabies (envelope virus)
DNA Viruses
- DNA cannot be translated DIRECTLY into proteins –> must first be transcribed by mRNA
- every DNA has (-) and (+) strand
Poxviridae
- smallpox
- molluscum contagiosum
Herpesviridae
- latent state
- multinucleated giant cells and intranuclear inclusion bodies (on smear)
