Study Notes
Arboviruses and Their Characteristics
- Aedes is an arthropod vector of the Rift Valley Fever virus, diagnosed using RT-PCR, ELISA, and culture from blood and tissues samples.
- There is no FDA-approved treatment for Rift Valley Fever, and prevention methods include avoiding contact with infected animals and protecting against mosquitoes.
- Flaviviridae causes a wide range of clinical symptoms, including hemorrhagic fever and encephalitis, and is spread by a mosquito vector affecting humans and birds.
- Japanese Encephalitis, a flavivirus transmitted by Culex mosquitoes, was first discovered in Japan and large-scale epidemics occur in China, India, and other parts of Asia.
- Yellow Fever virus, also a flavivirus, is mainly found in West Africa and South America, with two major forms: Urban and Jungle (sylvatic) yellow fever.
- Most human infections of Japanese Encephalitis are subclinical, but in clinical cases, life-threatening encephalitis occurs.
- Dengue, known as "break-bone fever," is a mosquito-borne febrile illness primarily occurring in tropical and subtropical regions, with four main serotypes.
- Dengue infection with another serotype, especially serotype 2, predisposes individuals to dengue hemorrhagic fever, causing hemorrhage or shock, especially in children.
- There is no specific therapy for Japanese Encephalitis, but a vaccine is available, while dengue diagnosis involves serology tests and no specific therapy is available, but a vaccine is available.
- Dengue has a history dating back to 1779-1780, with a pandemic beginning in Southeast Asia after World War II, and it is currently present in Africa, the Americas, Asia, the Caribbean, and the Pacific.
- The two cycles of dengue are the Jungle Cycle (Sylvatic/Enzootic) and the Urban Cycle (Epidemic), and in the Philippines, 893 new dengue cases were reported in epidemiologic week 2023, with a total of 111,813 cases reported as of August 26, 2023.
- In 2020, France and Italy reported autochthonous dengue cases, and the five countries reporting the most cases were Brazil, Paraguay, Mexico, Vietnam, and Malaysia.
Measles Virus: Structure, Replication, and Clinical Presentation
- Measles remains a leading cause of death among young children, causing 6 million deaths annually, with 164,000 deaths in 2008, mostly in children under 5.
- Measles is caused by the Paramyxovirus, belonging to the family Paramyxoviridae, and primarily affects humans through respiratory secretions.
- The virus encodes at least 6 virion structural proteins, including Nucleoprotein (N), Viral Polymerase Protein (P and L), Hemagglutinin (H), Fusion (F), and Matrix (M) proteins.
- Measles virus attaches to the CD-46 cellular receptor and undergoes a process of attachment, penetration, uncoating, transcription, translation, and RNA replication during viral replication.
- The clinical presentation of measles includes an incubation period of 10 to 12 days, followed by a prodromal period with symptoms such as high fever, cough, coryza, and conjunctivitis.
- The appearance of Koplik’s spots, a maculopapular rash, and subsequent desquamation of the skin are characteristic signs of measles infection.
- Measles virus infection causes generalized immunosuppression, leading to a decrease in delayed type hypersensitivity, interleukin production, and antigen-specific lymphoproliferative responses.
- Immunocompromised individuals are predisposed to secondary opportunistic infections, such as bronchopneumonia, a major cause of measles-related mortality among young children.
- The measles virus is only known to infect humans and is recognized by a single serotype, with subtle antigenic and genetic variations among wild-type strains.
- The virus is transmitted through respiratory secretions, mainly via coughing and sneezing, and can cause serious disease in natural species such as seals, dolphins, and horses.
- Measles virus replication leads to the formation of giant multinucleated cells and syncytium formation, characterized by intranuclear inclusions and viral protein synthesis.
- Ongoing molecular surveillance is essential for tracking outbreaks and identifying significant antigenic drifts in measles virus strains.
