| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Arbovirus | arthropod borne virus--spread from birds to humans via mosquito bites--icosahedral, enveloped viruses, RNA, mosquito spread-- |
| Cytomegalovirus (CMV) | enveloped virions, DNA, hallmark of latency/recurrence--5th human herpes virus--reactivated in mother from WBCs during 3rd trimester, crosses placenta--breastmilk--defects in fetus/infant--Glanciclovir in early tx--reactivation in immunocompromised |
| Ebola virus | host remains unknown--no tx and no vaccines--hemorrhagic fevers--fever, bleeding from body orifices |
| Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) | 4th herpes virus--enveloped virions, DNA, hallmark of latency/recurrance--90% infectious mononucleosis--under 15-asymptomatic--16-20 high "college disease"--infects B lymphocytes, cytoplasms grow dramatically remains latent for infected person's life--rec |
| Hantavirus | hemorrhagic fever pathogen--causes hemorrhaging and resp failure--deer mouse primary carrier |
| Hemorrhagic fevers | sx fever, bleeding from many body orifices, internal organs rupture/liquify due to viral damage--viruses in many shapes/sizes--RNA, DNA, naked,enveloped--no tx-no vaccine |
| Hepatitis | (blank) |
| Infectious mononucleosis | Eptein-Barr virus--enveloped virons, DNA, hallmark of latency/recurrence--kissing disease--college disease--transmitted in saliva--infects B lymphocytes, causing cytoplasms grow dramatically remains latent for infected persons life |
