Viral pathogenesis is defined as the process by which a viral infection leads to _____.
disease
The outcomes of the viral infections depends on the interplay between some ____ and ____ factors
viral, host
Factors affecting viral pathogenesis:
1. Effects of viral infections on ____ (?)
2. Entry into the ____
3. _____ of the infection ( _____ replication, _____ spread & ______ replication).
-Cell/tissue _____
-Cell/tissue _____
- _____ immune response
-Virus _______ or ______
cells, Cellular Pathogenesis, Host, Course, primary, secondary, tropism, damage, host, clearance, persistence
Virulent virus: relevant term to measure the ability of the virus to ______ ______ in a particular host
induce disease
Factors affecting the viral virulence:
-Ability of he virus to ____ and ____ in a particular host
- Virus must have the ability to ____ the host
-Virus has the ability to ____ the host immune response
- Virus is able to cause ______ in the target host
grow, multiply, invade, evade, damage
Viral virulence is based on some viral/host related factors
- Age, gender, immune status
-Virus concentration
Permissive cells are cells that ?
support viral replication (receptors, co/receptors, transcription, translation
factors)
Non-permissive cells are defined as ?
cells in which viral infection can not be established
Mechanisms of viral induced diseases in the affected host
Steps of viral replication in the host
Essential steps in the viral
infections/requirement for viral
survival and progression of infection
Types of viral infections - Productive
Productive
-Virus introduced its
genome into the cells
-New viral progeny
are made
Types of viral infections - Latent
-Viral genome is
incorporated into the
host cell genome
-Production of
infectious virus does not
occur immediately
Productive infection
occur latter on
Types of viral infections - Abortive
Virus initiated the
infection
- No viral progeny
produced
Types of viral infections - Persistent
Long term viral infection
when the immune system
failed to clear acute viral
infection
Recrudescence: a new outbreak after a period of ______ or ______.
abatement, inactivity
Types of viral infections with reference to viral load and timeline
Recurrent: repeated cycle of viral infection. Recover a little bit, then feel sick again b/c you do not have complete clearance.
Types of viral infections - Lytic infection
Destruction of cells at greater
rates than they may be
replaced
Ex: Pseudorabies virus: CNS cells
Ex: ICHV: liver cells
