Term
Respiratory syncytial virus infections occur during:
Definition
the cold months of NOV-MARCH
Term
Rhinovirus infections occur during
Definition
the late summer, fall
Term
ADENOVIRUSES: READ
Definition
widespread in nature, 2 genera, undergo latent infection in lymphoid tissues, oncogenic, prolonged survival outside the body, severity of infection depends on the site of infection, more common in late winter spring and early summer.
Hexons consist of protein II; pentons consist of 3,5,7, TP, Mu
In attachment, the pentons attach to cell integrin, allowing for phagocytosis to the inside. The toxicity of the pentons allows for release from the phagocytic vacuole. E1A first is made and is responsible for transcriptional activation of early genes. In the end, viruses clump in the nucleus in Inclusion Bodies and produce "occult" infections.
