Enter best matching virus | Virus |
Main example of an orthomyxovirus | |
related to measles and resp syncytial virus, entering via resp tract | |
targetted by tamiflu | |
codes Fc receptor molecules to evade antibody response | |
has multiple entry/exit routes, infecting monocytes latently and macrophages acutely. bad in the immunocompromised | |
systemic infection spread along blood/lymph/nerve tracts | |
faeco-oral transmitted infection targetted by a killed vaccine | |
targetted by a sialic acid analogue | |
causes contagious neoplastic disease in chickens | |
encephalitis causing toga/flavi virus | |
acquired via respiratory route but a systemic infection. Acute, only in humans, antigenically stable. Infects WBCs. | |
Generally infectious as M-tropic, mutating to T-tropic later | |
Retrovirus | |
live attenuated vaccine can rid this infection commonly caught in early school years, infecting WBCs. | |
causes common cold and susceptibility to secondary infection | |
causes Kaposi's sarcoma | |
acute in b cells and latent in memory b cells | |
A hepadna virus | |
can cause congenital malformation thus vaccinated against | |
causes cell stimulation and encodes enzymes to increase nucleotide availability. Latent infection | |
Codes soluble interferon receptors | |
treated by quarantine, animal slaughter, immune serum and killed vaccine. May in future be targetted by rational attenuation, or a surface Ag in vaccinia (used on foxes) | |
causes bronchitis, recent talk of vaccine | |
a toga/flavi virus zoonotic infection growing in macrophages as well as directly attacking endothelium. Can cause haemorrhagic fever. | |
example of polyprotein processing by post-transcriptional cleavage (chemo targets) | |
Infects RBC precursors, bad for anaemic patients. Leads to enteritis. ssDNA non-enveloped. | |
targetted by a virus-like particle vaccine (capsid w/o nucleic acid) | |
zoonotic systemic and cns infection, high morbidity | |
Successfully targetted by interferon therapy | |
