Study Notes
Hepatitis A Virus Transmission
- The Hepatitis A virus is primarily transmitted through the fecal-oral route. This means the virus is spread through contact with contaminated food or water, or through direct contact with an infected person.
Poliovirus Transmission
- The primary mode of transmission for Poliovirus is through the fecal-oral route. It spreads through contaminated water and food, or close contact with infected individuals.
Poliovirus Infection and Motor Neuron Death
- The death of motor neurons in Poliovirus infection leads to paralysis, primarily affecting the limbs and respiratory muscles.
Sabin Vaccine and Immune Response
- The Sabin vaccine induces a humoral immune response, meaning it stimulates the production of antibodies that circulate in the bloodstream and protect against future infection.
Immune Target in Hepatitis A Virus Infection
- The primary target of immune attack in Hepatitis A virus infection is the liver.
Viremia in Hepatitis A Virus Infection
- Viremia in Hepatitis A virus infection is brief and transient. This means the virus circulates in the bloodstream for a short duration.
Coxsackie Virus Transmission
- The primary route of transmission for Coxsackie viruses is through the fecal-oral route.
Coxsackie Virus Infection Site
- Coxsackie viruses primarily infect the gastrointestinal tract.
Rhinoviruses and Common Cold
- A common disease caused by Rhinoviruses is the common cold.
Coxsackie Virus B4 Complication
- A possible complication of Coxsackie virus B4 infection is myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle.
Rhinovirus Destruction in Stomach
- Rhinoviruses are destroyed in the stomach due to its acidic environment.
Immune Response to Picornavirus Infection
- The primary mechanism of immune response to Picornavirus infection is the production of antibodies.
Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B
- Alpha interferon and lamivudine are used in treating chronic hepatitis B with the goal of suppressing viral replication and reducing liver damage.
Hepatitis B Vaccine Immunogen
- The component used as an immunogen in the hepatitis B vaccine is the Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg).
Non-RNA Virus with Linear Genome
- The virus that does NOT belong to the group of RNA viruses with a linear, non-segmented, positive polarity genome is Hepatitis B virus. It is a DNA virus.
Poliovirus Infection Responses
- The range of responses to poliovirus infection varies. Some individuals may experience no symptoms or mild symptoms, while others may develop paralysis.
Common Cold Virus Classification
- The virus that causes the common cold, a Rhinovirus, belongs to the Picornaviridae family.
Retrovirus Genome Uniqueness
- The genome of Retroviruses is unique because it's composed of RNA but can be reverse transcribed into DNA.
