Question | Answer |
---|---|
Largest and most complex virus | pox |
shape of pox | brick |
shape of parapox | ovoid |
structure of virions in pox (cubic, helical or complex) | complex |
shape of core of pox | dumbbell, barbell or peanut |
envelope present? | may or may not be |
genome of pox | linear dsDNA |
stable or not | stable |
where does replication occur? | cytoplasm |
inclusion bodies? | yes (eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusions) |
genetic recombination between other genre? | no |
genetic recombination between genre? | yes, results in extensive serological cross-reaction and cross-protection |
hemogglutinin produced? | only by orthopox |
all pox share group-specific nucleoprotein antigen which is exposed following alkaline digestion. true or false | true |
chordopox | pox of vertebrates |
orthopox | vaccinia |
parapox | pseudocowpox |
avipox | fowlpox |
capripox | sheeppox |
lepropox | leporipox |
suipox | swinepox |
molluscipox | myoxoma virus |
yabapox | yaba monkey tumor virus |
entomopox | viruses of insects |
where does viral replication of pox virus happen | cytoplasm |
name the family: adsorption and penetration (endocytosis for nonenveloped and fusion for enveloped) is followed by the release of the viral core into the cytoplasm | pox |
true or false. encoding is a three step process for pox | false. two |
name the family. host cell enzymes partially uncoat the viral particle which exposes some viral DNA and polymerase | pox |
most pox are enveloped or nonenveloped | not enveloped |
true or false. only enveloped pox are are infectious | false, both are infectious |
pox release out of the cell how | budding,exocytosis (enveloped) and cell lysis (non enveloped) |
pox--resistant or not | resistant--can survive for many months or years in dried scabs |
pox transmitted how | induction into small skin abrasions aerosol of resp. tract mechanical transmission by biting arthropods (no biological transmission) |
pox are highly epitheliotropic true or false | true |
