Final - Memory aids for viruses

        Help!  

Question
Answer
List the live attenuated viral vaccines   Measles, mumps, rubella, sabin polio, VZV, yellow fever, small pox, adenovirus  
🗑
List the killed viral vaccines   Rabies, influenza, salk polio, HAV. EGG-BASED Vaccines: Flu, MMR, Yellow fever (also a live attenuated vax available)  
🗑
The HBV vaccination is what type of vaccination?   Recombinant. Made with recombinate HBsAG  
🗑
Describe the 4 mechanism of viral genetic variation   Recombination: exchange of genes b/w 2 chromosomes by crossing over w/i regions of homology. 2) reassortment: When virus with segmented genomes (influenza), exchange segments. CAUSE OF PANDEMICS 3) Complementation: ie HEP D and HEP B, 4) Phenotypic mixing  
🗑
Negative stranded RNA viruses (mnemonic)   "Always Bring Polymerase Or Fail Replication": Arenavirus, bunyavirus, Paramyxovirus, Orthomyxavirus, filovirus, rhabdovirus  
🗑
DNA Viruses (mnemonic)   HHAPPPy: Herpesvirus, Hepadnaviridae, Adenovirus, Papova, Poxviridae, Parvovirus  
🗑
All DNA viruses have DS dna except:   Parvovirus  
🗑
Naked DNA and RNA Viruses (mnemonic)   Get naked for PAP smears and PCRs: PAP = Naked DNA: Parvovirus, Adenovirus, Papovirus. PCR = Naked RNA: Picorna, Calcivirus, reovirus  
🗑
All DNA viruses are linear EXCEPT FOR:   Papova (circular/supercoiled) and Hepadna (circular, incomplete)  
🗑
All DNA viruses are icosahedral except:   Pox (complex shape). Carries its down DNA dependent RNA polymerase  
🗑
What DNA virus carries its own DNA dependent RNA polymerase?   Poxvirus. Because of this, it can replicate in the cytoplasm. It is the only virus that does this.  
🗑
ALL DNA viruses replicate in the _____ except for _____   All DNA viruses replicate in the nucleus except for poxvirus, who has its own DNA dependent RNA pol  
🗑
List the segmented viruses (mnemonic)   BOAR. ALL are RNA viruses. Bunyavirus, orthomyxovirus (influenza), Arenavirus, Reovirus.  
🗑
List the picornaviruses. What type of DNA/RNA do they contain? (mnemonic)   (+)ssRNA, naked. Remember this as picoRNAvirus. Remember the viruses as "PERCH":Polio, echo, rhino, Coxsackie, HAV  
🗑
What sx can be caused by the mumps virus?   Prostitis, Orchitis, (testical inflammation), aseptic meningitis. Can cause sterility (esp after puberty)  
🗑
Koplik spots are seen in what viral infection   Measles  
🗑
A genetic SHIFT is asso with what type of flu outbreak (epidemic or pandemic?), Genetic drift?   Shift = Panemic. Drift = epidemic. A Sudden SHIFT is more deadly than a graDual Drift.  
🗑
What antivirus is used for influenza A? Influenza B?   A: Amantadine and rimantidine. zanamivir and oseltamavir (neuroaminidase inhibitors) can be used for both A and B  
🗑
List the Arboviruses (mnemonic)   Flavivirus, togavirus, bunyavirus (FTB), Fever transmitted by bites. Causes of dengue and yellow fever (flavivirus) hemorrhagic fever)  
🗑
What is the vector of yellow fever? What virus?   Aedes mosquito. Flavivirus. High fever, black vomit, jaundice, and acidophilic inclusions (councilman bodies) in the liver  
🗑
Sx of yellow fever   black vomit, jaundice, and acidophilic inclusions (councilman bodies) in the liver  
🗑
What hepatitis is associate with cancer?   Hep C. Cirrhosis, Caricinoma, Carrier, Chronic  
🗑
What hepatitis virus is a flavivirus?   Hep C (+)ssRNA  
🗑
What mutation encodes for immunity to HIV?   CCR5. Homozygous: immune. Hetero: slower course  
🗑
What serologic marker indicates transmissibility of hep B?   HBeAg. second antigenic determinentof HBV core (first is HBcAg). antibody to this marked by the presence of HBeAb indicates LOW transmissiability  
🗑
What dose HBeAg indicate?   It is a antigen determinent of the core protein of HBV used as an indicator transmissibilty. If it is present with no antibody to it (no HBeAb) then it the HBV is transmissible. (+)HBeAb = low transmissability.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
