Cards

Term
influenza enveloped or non?
Definition
enveloped
Term
influenza genome type
Definition
ss(-)RNA-baltimore 5
Term
influenza host range
Definition
broad
Term
influenza transmission
Definition
Horizontal
Aerosolization
Direct contact (less common)
Term
influenza disease course
Definition
acute
Term
influenza symptoms
Definition
Acute
Cough, fever, sore throat, runny nose, ache, fatigue
Term
influenza tropism
Definition
Upper respiratory tract
Lower respiratory tract
Term
influenza entry
Definition
Hemagglutinin (“H”) binds to host cell receptor- protein
Put into viral envelope for viral escape, binds to host cell receptor to make host cell come in
Endocytosis
Contents released into cytoplasm
Term
influenza Replication/assembly
Definition
BYOP (bring your own polymerase
ss(-)RNA → mRNA
Random packaging
Term
influenza Random packaging
Definition
packaging in cytoplasm (needs all 8 segments to be functional
Term
influenza makes ss + RNA for
Definition
to make ss(-)RNA to make more genetic material
Term
influenza release
Definition
Budding
Neuraminidase (N cuts and releases virions. No vessicle, no real exocytosis.
Term
influenza control
Definition
vaccinations
Term
influenza tx using tamiflu and relenza:
Definition
Neuraminidase inhibitors
Doesn’t let virus escape the host cell. The host keeps making more virus particles but they can’t leave with “N” inhibited. Past 72 hours there is too many viruses within you.
A lot of resistance against these “N” changes fast
Term
Antigenic drift
Definition
random minor mutations, common, minor capsid change, avoid immune system
Term
ex of antigenic drift:
Definition
Annual flu vaccine
Rhinoviruses
HIV
Term
antigenic shift
Definition
MAJOR CHANGES: completely new proteins made= completely new viruses, uncommon
Term
antigenic shift potential
Definition
pandemic
Term
how does antigenic shift occur?
Definition
New segmented genome is created by
Two strains infect a single host (chicken, pig)usually in foreign countries
Genetic recombination/reassortment occurs between strains=major changes
Term
example of antigenic shift
Definition
Influenza- has segmented genome* the key for this shift
Term
epidegiology=
Definition
Disease source + factors influencing spread
Develop control/prevention strategies
frequency of disease
Term
father of epidemioloogy=
in Golden age?
studied=
Definition
John Snow GOLDEN AGE

1854 London cholera outbreak
Term
Endemic disease and ex:
Definition
always present at low frequency (west nile)
Term
epidemic and ex:
Definition
Epidemic: high freq quickly in small area (flu)
Term
pandemic:
Definition
epidemic in a wide area (typically multiple countries/continents)
Term
detection depends on:
Definition
location dependent (seattle vs 3rd world country has different respone) and Pt zero/ person to blame
Term
Managing Infectious Diseases includes:
Definition
detections
tx
prevention
Term
Just watching the disease
Definition
observationals
Term
facts- who, what, where (no WHY)
Definition
descriptive
Term
relationships/assiociations with the disease but NOT WHY
Definition
analytical
Term
looking back at data in the past
Definition
retrospective
Term
future: follow group over time
Definition
prospective
Term
determine why/reason something is happening, hypothesis, test
Definition
experimental
Term
(hypothesis: cholera is “caused by” water at the broad st. pump)
Definition
experimentatl
Term
(cases most prevalent near broad st pump)
Definition
analytical
Term

genome=
host range-
endemic, epidemic, pandemic?
disease course-
Definition
enveloped
dsDNA baltimore 1
narrow host
endemic (US)
latent
Term
WSU/Equine Herpes Virus (EHV-1) transmission
Definition
Airborne/aerosolization
Fomites (equipment, clothing)
Vectors (humans)
Asymoptomatic carriers
Term
WSU/Equine Herpes Virus (EHV-1) tropism
Definition
Respiratory, reproductive, central nervous systems (EHM = Equine Herpes Myeloencephalopathy)
Term
WSU/Equine Herpes Virus (EHV-1) entry and release
Definition
Uncoats at cell membrane
Capsid travels to nucleus
DNA enters
release= exocytosis
Term
WSU/Equine Herpes Virus (EHV-1) tx
Definition
Vaccinations available
Difficult to control
Supoortive care
Term
pt zero WSU/Equine Herpes Virus (EHV-1)
Definition
4/29-5/8/11: National Cutting Horse Association Western National Championship Ogden, UT
