Match each of the descriptions given below (symptoms, geographicdistribution, mode of transmission, etc.) with the viral diseasethat is the most likely cause. (Hint: look up all of the virusesand the diseases they cause, then try to do the problem.)
A yellow fever
B herpes (HSV-2)
C measles (rubeola)
D rotovirus
E ebola fever
F rabies
G HPV-16 (human papilloma virus)
H smallpox
1.The patient, who is a sexually active young adult, has genitalwarts.
2. The patient is a baby who was hospitalized because ofdehydration due to severe diarrhea. Patient also displays vomitingand low grade fever. An electronmicrograph of a stool sample showsa nonenveloped virus with an icosahedral symmetry (sort of round)that is about 70 nm in diameter.
3. The disease is an extremely severe hemmorhagic fever that isthought to be transmitted by contact with blood or bodily fluidsfrom an infected person (or possibly an animal but the naturalreservoir for this virus is currently unknown). An electronmicrograph shows the virus to be filamentous. Infections arefrequently fatal with most cases occurring in The Rebublic ofCongo, Zaire and Uganda.
4. The disease is a hemmorhagic fever that is transmitted bymosquitoes. An electron micrograph shows the virus to have anenveloped icosahedral capsid. The disease used to be common in Cubaand Panama. A patient suffers from internal bleeding that resultsin jaundice.

A B C D E F G H While time-travelling in the 16thcentury, you see a patient who is covered with a rash on the skinand in the mouth and throat. The rash includes lots and lots ofraised fluid-filled blisters. The patient is very ill. The nativessay that about 1/3 of the people who get the disease die and thesurvivors are frequently disfigured by large numbers of deeppockmarks on their faces.
A B C D E F G H The patient was bitten by an extremelyaggressive crazed raccoon while hiking in the woods several monthsago. Symptoms that have now developed include: malaise, headache,fever, uncontrolled excitement, depression, difficult and painfulswallowing and a general unwillingness to drink water. A bulletshaped virus is seen in electron micrographs of a cerebrospinalfluid sample.
A B C D E F G H The patient is a child who has a rash ofsmall red raised spots, high fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes,and spots in the mouth that are red with blueish-whitecenters.
A B C D E F G H The patient, a young adult who admits tohaving multiple sex partners, has clusters of painful lesions onthe genitals. These lesions are inflammed bumps that are similar tocold sores or fever blisters. The lesions appeared several monthsago but cleared up after 3 weeks. However, after a latent period,the genital blisters have reappeared and similar lesions are nowseen near the base of the spine and on the buttocks and upperthighs.
