1
The deadly microscopic world.
2
Nucleic acid within a protein coat Jenner – smallpox vaccine Non-living No metabolism Cannot replicate without a host No scientific name, instead family names Influenza virus
3
Viruses that infect bacteria – bacteriophage General Characteristics: Nucleic acid – either RNA or DNA Outer protein capsid Optional features for protection Envelope, spikes, slime layers Capsid protein DNA or RNA Tail Tail fibers
5
Prior to replication, virus must enter cell Protein on virus interlock with surface markers on cells Each virus has specific cell to “dock” with EX: polio virus attaches to nerve cells
6
Lytic 1A. Virus attaches to cell 2A. Inserts DNA 3A. Replication of viral parts 4A. Assembly of new viruses 5A. Cell lyses Lysogenic 1B. Virus attaches to cell 2B. Inserts DNA 3B. DNA integrates into host DNA - prophage 4B. Cell replicates normally with viral DNA altering protein synthesis 5B. Viral DNA comes out of the host DNA 6B. Begin Lytic Cycle
12
Inhibit protein synthesis of host Open lysosomes Bind membranes together Create a toxic level of proteins The human body protects itself from viruses using antibodies and fever. Viruses prefer body temperature.
13
Which of these diseases is likely to be caused by a lytic virus? Characteristics of some Viral Diseases DiseaseSymptomsIncubation MeaslesRash, Fever9-11 days ShinglesPain, itching on skinYears WartsBumpy area on skinMonths InfluenzaBody aches, fever, runny nose1-4 days HIVfatigue, weight loss, fever2-5 years
15
Smallpox Last seen in 1977 Eradicated by WHO due to obvious symptoms and short life cycle CDC and Moscow Self-replicating
16
Chicken Pox Fluid filled blisters Itching and burning Common in kids Vaccine to prevent
17
Herpes zoster – shingles Reactivated chicken pox Highly contagious Viral DNA remains in neurons, dormant Pain, fever, skin lesions, pus filled spots Can be due to sun, stress, fever, trauma, but main cause unknown
18
Untreated shingles
19
Herpes simplex 2 Genital herpes Virus lives in bottom of the spine Same reactivation Congenital herpes in newborns Tingling, pain during urination, thick discharge, fluid filled vesicles Found in 25 mil Americans
21
Cold Sores Herpes simplex Virus lives in a nerve in face Reactivated similar to shingles Fever, sore throat, mouth pain, edema
22
Untreated cold sores
23
HIV Retrovirus RNA DNA Reverse transcriptase Fluid transmission Enters immune system by endocytosis into WBC Prevents WBC from making a receptor (CD4) that normally detects pathogens Symptoms treated with drug cocktail
24
HIV Exposure symptoms – headache, sore throat, occasional rash Upon reactivation – rapid weight loss, dry cough, night sweats, unexplained fatigue, white spots in mouth, memory loss
26
Kaposi’s Sarcoma – HIV side affect
27
Burkitt’s Lymphoma – HIV Side Affect
28
Rabies Virus lives in salivary glands of animal Virus destroys the nerves Produces Negri bodies in brain Initial symptoms – tingling and cold around bite, nervous Phase II – anxiety, photophobia, arrhythmia, pupil dilation, difficulty swallowing Gamma globulin treatment
29
Mononucleosis Fluid transmission “kissing disease” Infects WBC’s Enlarged lymph nodes, swollen spleen, sore throat, nausea, weakness, fatigue Can last up to 6 wks Remains latent in nerves
30
Measles Highly contagious Respiratory droplet spread Nasal discharge, dry cough, fever, headache, pink eye, pink lesions, ear infection Targeted for eradication MMR vaccine
31
Viral Hepatitis B Initially asymptomatic 1-3 month incubation Fever, loss of appetite, pain, nausea, fatigue, jaundice, swollen liver 3 step vaccine
32
Hanta Virus Deermice and ticks No human to human 2-3 day incubation Cough, pulmonary edema, hemorrhaging, renal failure, achy muscles 60% death rate
33
Ebola 93% death rate Hemorrhagic fever High temperature Blood from orifices
34
Scott lives on a farm in the country. He started feeling sick with flu-like symptoms. After a couple of days, his pupils became dilated and he had difficulty swallowing. His parents rushed him to the emergency room. X-rays revealed that Scott has small lesions forming on his brain. He also had an animal bite on his lower leg. rabies
35
Mary is a 23 year old college student who went to the doctor after several weeks of general sickness. She complained of fatigue, chills, sweating at night, a continuous cough, and slight diarrhea. It was noted during the exam that her glands under her arms and in her neck were swollen. The doctors performed a blood test. HIV
36
A child, age 7, came home from school complaining of a sore throat. Her mom took her fever, which was 102 0 F. The child was taken to the doctor after a couple of days with no improvement. The doctor noticed that she was developing a pink rash and seemed to have an ear infection. She had not been vaccinated with the MMR. What illness does this child likely have? measles
37
Steroids given if severe – boost immune function Usually cause fever Some vaccinations are weakened forms of actual virus Many viruses stay in your system even after recovery
