Document Summary
My transcription covers what was said in class. This is by no means a complete set of notes, and you will need his notes to supplement. Talking about video: kid with polio paralyzed the legs. Once taken it mutates to some variant form. The feces from this kid can be a source of virus because the vaccine is an attenuated vaccine. But it is the more effective form of the vaccine (compared to ipv inactivated polio vaccine). Hepatoviruses page 122: virus replicate in liver only. There is no indication that the virus replicate outside of the liver. It is resistant to some detergent inactivation like mild detergent, and heat up to 65 degrees. The virus can stand a certain degree of heat. This is how the virus can survive in environment. This is how they can be transmitted from person to person. eg loblaws where the person doesn"t even know that they have the virus.
