10 Questions
What is the primary target tissue for Influenza virus?
Respiratory epithelial cells
What is the primary target of HIV infection?
CD4 T lymphocytes
What is the mechanism of action of neuraminidase inhibitors like Oseltamivir and Zanamivir?
They inhibit the release of newly formed virions from host cells.
Which type of virus can develop latency in the innervating neuron?
Herpes simplex viruses (HSV)
Viral infections can only replicate outside of a living host cell.
False
Which step of viral replication involves the synthesis of late structural proteins (capsid)?
Assembly & release from host cell
The eclipse cycle includes the synthesis of late structural proteins such as capsid.
True
HSV can replicate in mucoepithelial cells and then develop latency in the innervating neuron.
True
HIV primarily infects CD4T lymphocytes.
True
Neuraminidase inhibitors like Oseltamivir and Zanamivir target the synthesis of early regulatory proteins in viral replication.
False
