Viral Pathogenesis
- Respiratory droplets are a common route of entry for viruses.
- Direct contact can be a route of entry for some viruses.
- Fecal-oral transmission is another common mode of viral entry.
- Blood-borne transmission is a route of entry for certain types of viruses.
- Sexual transmission can also be a mode of viral entry.
Viral Vaccines
- Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine targets measles, mumps, and rubella viruses.
Antiviral Medications
- Acyclovir (Zovirax); used for the treatment of herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella zoster virus (VZV) infections
