- Virus-induced disease mechanisms:
- Viruses attach to target cell surfaces using specific viral proteins and cellular proteins
- After attachment, viruses enter cells and replicate, causing damage to host cells
- Viruses inhibit host cell DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis
- Viruses damage cell membranes or promote cell fusion
- Replication of viruses inside cells results in host cell lysis
- Immune system recognizes viral proteins on cell surfaces and kills infected cells
- Viral replication process:
- Attachment to cells: Binding of viral protein to specific cellular surface receptors
- Penetration: Immediate entry into cells via endocytosis
- Eclipse phase:
- Multiplication of virus and cell damage
- RNA and protein synthesis take place in cytoplasm
- Viral release:
- Cytocidal viruses: Alter host cell metabolism and cause necrosis (Herpes, Picorna, Parvo, Adeno, Flavivirus)
- Non-cytocidal viruses: Replicated by budding.
