Study Notes
Fundamentals of Virology
-
Viruses are the smallest infectious agents and contain only one type of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA).
-
A virion is a mature virus particle containing a nucleic acid core surrounded by a protein coat, with or without an envelope.
-
Each virus contains only one kind of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA), classified as single stranded, double linear, circular segmented, or non-segmented.
-
Each nucleocapsid contains a nucleic acid core surrounded by a protein coat, the capsid, with capsid symmetry either helical, icosahedral, or complex.
-
Some viruses have envelopes which can be from the host cell membrane, host nuclear membrane, or are "naked".
-
Naked viruses are environmentally stable, while enveloped viruses are environmentally labile and modify cell membrane during replication; they are released by budding and occasionally, cell lysis.
-
Viruses range in size from 20-300 nm, with pox viruses being the largest DNA viruses, paramyxoviruses being the largest RNA viruses, and parvoviruses being the smallest animal virus.
-
Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites and require other cells to reproduce since they do not have their own metabolic machineries.
-
The replication cycle of viruses includes absorption, penetration, uncoating, synthesis, assembly of virion, and release.
-
Laboratory diagnosis of viral infections includes clinical symptoms, direct examination, serology, and cell culture selection for virus isolation and presumptive diagnosis.
-
DNA viruses include adenoviridae, hepadnaviridae, herpesviridae, papovaviridae, parvoviridae, and poxvindae.
-
RNA viruses include arenavirus, bunyavindae, caliciviridae, coronavindae, filoviridae, orthomyxoviridae, paramyxoviridae, picornaviridae, and reoviridae.Summary of Viruses and Associated Diseases
-
Gastroenteritis affects infants and children aged 6 months to 2 years.
-
Colorado Tick Fever is caused by Orbivirus.
-
Retroviridae is a family of viruses that are slightly pleomorphic to spherical and have a size range of 80-100 nm.
-
HTLV-1 is associated with Adult T-cell leukemia, Sezary 7 cell leukemia, and lymphoma.
-
HTLV-2 is associated with Hairy Cell leukemia.
-
HIV-1 has three stages: asymptomatic, AIDS-Related Complex, and Full Blown AIDS.
-
HIV-2 causes immunodeficiency and is less pathogenic than HIV-1.
-
Rhabdoviridae is a family of bullet-shaped viruses with a size range of 50-95 nm x 130-389 nm.
-
Rabies virus causes Rabies.
-
Togaviridae is a family of spherical viruses with a size range of 60-70 nm.
-
Alphavirus (Group A Arbovirus) includes Eastern equine encephalitis, Western equine encephalitis, Venezuelan equine encephalitis.
-
