Study Notes
Ecological Group of Viruses
- Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are transmitted to animal and human hosts via arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes and ticks.
Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome
- Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is primarily caused by the Hantaan virus, a significant concern in areas where deer mice are prevalent.
Sandfly Fever Viruses
- Sandfly fever is caused by viruses classified under the genus Phlebovirus, which are transmitted by sandflies.
Tick-borne Encephalitis Virus (TBEV)
- Tick-borne encephalitis virus belongs to the family Flaviviridae and the genus Flavivirus, known for causing neurological diseases in humans.
Hantaan Virus RNA Type
- Hantaan virus is classified as a segmented negative-sense RNA virus, a characteristic that influences its replication and pathogenesis.
