Document Summary

6 characteristics of viruses: living, 1 nucleic acid, no divide, no metabolism, vary size (10-300, mutiply by p+na assembly. 3 components of viruses: protein coat, surface antigens carbs/lipids, nucleic acid core. 3 places viruses grow: cell cultures, embryonated eggs, living animals. 5 steps of virus replication (apsar: adsorption, penetration & uncoating undetectable (eclipse, synthesis of protein & viruses - metabolism, assembly-maturation, release (budding/lysis) 2 virus transports: viral transport media, courier services. 2 approaches to viral diagnosis: detection in clinical specimens, detection in immune reactions to virus antibodies. 3 ways to detect virus in clinical: electron microscopy, cell cultures. 3 cell cultures used for clinical virus detection: cytopathic visible modification of cell, hemagglutination - rbcs. 2 ways to detect the virus through immune response. 1: parainfluenza - croup, respiratory syncytial - antiviral, rhinovirus common cold, adenovirus pharyngitis/inapparent infection/vaccine army, echo/coxsackie/herpes *others. 2 types of influenza: type a major epidemics, type b mild, occasional epidemics.
