Term
Types and gen. char. of Picornoviradae?
Definition
Small, Naked Icosahedral, cytolytic

Enteroviruses, Hep A, Rhino Virus
Term
Types and chars. of Enteroviruses?
Definition
transmitted oral-fecal route

Polio: 3 serotypes, 95% no symp, 4-8% aseptic meningitis, 1% flacced paralysis, after intestinal entry infects motor neurons, OPV (live), eIPV(dead)

ECHO virus

Enterovirus 70-hemorrhagic:
conjunctivitis

Enterovirus 71: encephalitis

Coxackie Virus A and B: A=soft palatte lesions(herpangia)/hand-foot-mouth dis. B=myocarditis/pericarditis
Term
Char. of Hepatitis A?
Definition
short incubation,not cytolytic but a budder unlike other picornaviradae, inactivated vaccine (Harvix), no chronic infec., contam. food
Term
Char of Rhinovirus?
Definition
acid-labile, cold, grow a 33 deg C, 200+ serotypes
Term
Char. of Caliciviradae?
Definition
naked icosahedral, slightly larger than picornaviradae, fecal-oral
Term
Types of Caliciviradae?
Definition
Norwalk Virus=60% of non-bac. gastroenteritis

Hep E: causes epidemic outbreaks in poor unsanitary parts of the world
Term
Char. and types of Togaviridae?
Definition
Enveloped, Icosahedral

Arboviruses: Eastern, Western Venezualen Equine Enchephalits, mosquitos

Rubiviruses: rubella=german measles, could possible lead to cataracts, deafness, congenital heart disease, cerebral and developmental delays
Term
Char and types of Flaviviradae?
Definition
Arboviruses=fevers, hemorrhagic, encephalitis=yellow fever, dengue, st. louis, japanese encephalitis, west nile encephalitis

Powassan Encephalitis is tick bourne

West Nile=20% mild illness, 1/150 severe

Dengue=break-bone fever, dengue shock syndrome from reinfection

Hep C=STD/blood bourne
Term
Char of Coronaviradae?
Definition
enveloped, helical, can cause SARS
Term

Definition
Orthomyxoviridae(Influenxaviradae)
Paramyxoviridae
Rhabdoviridae
Filoviradae
Bunyaviradae
Arenaviradae
Term
Char of Orhtomyxoviradae/influnezaviridae?
Definition
helical, enveloped, virus replicates in superficial respiratory and destroy ciliated columnar

H1, H2, H3 hemagluttinin
N1, N2 neuaraminadase

Antigenic drift=chance mutations
Antigenic shift=reassortment between strains, ducks
Term
Char. and types of Paramyxoviridae?
Definition
enveloped, helical, genome is unsegemented, formation of syncytium by F protein, respiratory transmission

Parainfluenza, mumps, measles, RSV
Term
Char of Rhabdoviradae?
Definition
Bullet shaped, enveloped, negri bodies, rabies, long incubation allows for post-infect treament to be effective
Term
Char of Filoviridae?
Definition
Marburg and Ebola
Term
Char and types of Bunyaviridae?
Definition
enveloped, helical, no matrix protein

Arbovirus: Lacrosse encephalits, California Encephalits

Hanta Virus: Hantaan, Seoul, Sin Nombre, cause Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARD) and possible kidney dysfunction
Term
Char and Types of Arenaviridae?
Definition
enveloped, helical, no matrix protein, sometimes host ribosomes in particle

Lassa Virus

Lymphocytic Choriomeningits (LCM)= from house mice, if transmitted from mother to fetus in utero, the baby will have every cell in its body infected but mount no cyotoxic response and will be fine, otherwise fatal
Term
Example of unclassified RNA viruses?
Definition
Hep D, tiny circular (-)ssRNA, needs coinfection to be active
Term
Char and Types of Class VI, Retroviridae?
Definition
enveloped, 2 identical copies of (+)ssRNA, contain some tRNA needed as a primer for transcription and Reverse Transcriptase

Ocornavirinae
Lentivirinae
Term
Types and Char of Oncornavirinae?
Definition
cause sarcomas, leukemias, and lymphomas

Human T Lymphocyte Viruses: HTLV-I causes adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) and possibly tropical spastic parapeis(TSP) and myelopathy(HAM)

HTLV-II may lead to hairy cell leukemia

have tax and rex, promotes transcription of NF-kB and IL-2
Term
Types and Char of Lentivirinae?
Definition
HIV! CXCR-4 on Ts and CCR5 on macrophages, M tropic first than T-tropic, infected macrophages disseminate infection throughout the body,
