7
Q

Transmission of Polio and Replication

A

Fecal oral route, replicates in Peyer’s patches (2-3 weeks), then invasdes anterior horn of spinal cord

10
Q

OPV vs IPV

A

OPV - live attenuated, creates both IgG and IgA
IPV - killed
bypasses GI tract, forms IgG not IgA

11

Coxsackie A vs B

A

A - Hand, foot, and Mouth Disease - red vesicular rash
Viral meningitis
Summer months

B - dilated cardiomyopathy, Devil’s grip, Bornholm disease, pleurodynia - sharp pain on chest

12
Q

Unique features of rhinovirus compared to others picornavirus

A

Acid labnile. Cannot be transmitted fecal oral route

13
Q

Transmission of rhinovirus

A

Respiratory, attaches to ICAM-1 on host cells

14
Q

Rhinovirus grows in what temperatures

A

Cool temperatures, which is why ionfects upper respiratory tract

15
Q

Transmission of Hepatitis A

A

Fecal oral route, transmitted from infected feces contaminating water, shellfish

16
Q

Purifying techniques to avoid Hep A

A

Chlorinated,Bleached, UV radiation, bboiled

17
Q

Anicteric hepatitis in young children is caused by?

A

Hepatitis A

18
Q

Duration of illness in Hepatitis A

31
Q

Flavivirus examples

A

Hep C
Dengue
West Nile Virus
Yellow Fever

32
Q

Mechanism of antigenic variability in Hep C

A

3-5 exonuclease is noit proofread, so errors lead to antigentic variation
