Outline Anatomy of a Virus Are viruses alive? Common Viral Diseases Viral Replication – Lytic – Lysogenic Retroviruses
5
What is a virus? A non-living strand of genetic material within a protein coat Size?
7
Anatomy of a Virus
8
Glycoproteins?

Viral Shapes Special thanks to Dr. Dennis Kunkel www.denniskunkel.com
11
4 Basic Shapes Helical Polyhedral Spherical Bacteriophage
12
Helical Resemble Long Rods Flexible or rigid Examples – TMV – Ebola – Rabies Tobacco Mosaic Virus
13
Helical Viruses cont. Tobacco Mosaic Virus
14
Polyhedral Polyhedral means many sided 3-D shape Most are iscosahedrons Examples – Adenovirus – Polio virus – Common cold – Hepatitis Adenovirus
15
Polyhedral cont. Polio Virus Pappilomavirus
16
Spherical Also called “enveloped” viruses Roughly spherical Protein coat and DNA/RNA covered by an membrane envelope Influenza Virus
17
More Spherical Viruses Herpes Simplex Virus
18
A Deadly Sphere Human Immunodeficiency Virus
19
HIV
20
Bacteriophage Most complex viruses Infect bacteria Consist of: – Capsid (head) DNA inside – Tail – Tail Plate – Tail fibers (legs)
22
Common Viral Diseases Measles… Immune Response. Should you Vaccine or not?
23
Viral Infection Viral Replication Lytic Cycle & Lysogenic Cycle NPR: Viruses Attack
26
I'm a Virus! (Mr. W's Virus Rap) Virus Rap What are the differences between lysogenic and lytic cycles of Virus Replication?
27
Retro Virus
28
How they really look…
