Study Notes
- Several DNA viruses cause diseases in humans.
Adenovirus
- Primarily causes respiratory illnesses
- Can also lead to gastroenteritis, conjunctivitis, cystitis, and rashes
Hepadnavirus
- Causes Hepatitis B
Poxvirus
- The largest DNA virus
- Variola virus causes Smallpox which was eradicated globally in 1981
Parvovirus
- The smallest DNA virus
- B19 causes fifth disease (erythema infectiosum)
Herpesvirus
- Includes several types of viruses
Herpes Simplex 1 (HHV-1)
- Causes cold sores or fever blisters (vesicles on lips)
- Can also cause herpes whitlow (vesicles on fingers)
- Remains latent in the trigeminal nerve
Herpes Simplex 2 (HHV-2)
- Causes genital herpes and encephalitis
- It is carcinogenic
- Remains latent in the sacral nerve
Varicella-Zoster Virus (HHV-3, VZV)
- Remains latent in the dorsal nerve root
