  1. General characteristics of Viruses

  2. Introduction I. I. Conception 1. Virus: Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites at the genetic level. 2. Virion: The entire infectious unit or the complete virus particles 3. Atypical virus like agents (subvirus) 1)Viroid:Viroids consist solely of a single molecule of circular RNA without a protein coat or envelope.

  3. Introduction I. Conception 2)Prion (unconventional virus)Prion are infectious protein particle that are composed solely of protein, i.e. they contain no detectable nucleic acid. CJD Kuru Fatal Familial Insomnia Scrapie of sheep and goat Bovine spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) 3)Satellites: virusoid

  4. Satellites

  19. Basic properties of viruses II.Viral Replication 1. Replication 2. Steps in Viral replication 1)Recognition and attachment to the target cell 2)Penetration 3)Uncoating 4)Gene expression & genome replication 5)Assembly & release

  20. Steps in Viral replication

  21. Replication: example 1

  22. Replication: example 2

  23. Replication: example 3

  24. Basic properties of viruses Abnormal multiplication A.Defective virus: A virus particle that is functionally deficient in some aspect of replication. B.Abortive infection: Infection in which some or all virus components are synthezised but no infective virus is produced.

  25. Viral pathogenicity and Immunity In this section, you will learn: $ Viral Pathogenicity $Immunity for viral infection

  26. Viral pathogenicity and Immunity I.Viral Pathogenicity

  27. Viral Pathogenicity

  28. Viral pathogenicity and Immunity 1.modes of transmissions 1)Horizontal transmission: Transmission between person of any age after birth, usually excluding via the maternal milk.

  29. modes of transmissions 1)   Horizontal transmission 2-1

  30. modes of transmissions 1)   Horizontal transmission

  31. Viral pathogenicity and Immunity 2)Vertical transmission: Spread of infection parent to the young via the placenta or genital tract. Transmission via the maternal milk is sometime included.

  32. Vertical transmission

  33. Viral pathogenicity and Immunity 2.Types of viral infections 1)inapparent infections 2)apparent infections A.Acute infection B.Persistent infection a)chronical infection: HBV b)latent infection: HSV Varicella--zoster virus

  34. latent infection: HSV

  36. Viral pathogenicity and Immunity 3.Viruses-host interaction 1)cell level A.lytic infection (Cytocidal infection) : cytopathic effect ( CPE ) Alternation in the Microscopic apperance of cell in culture following infection with a virus. B.steady state infection : fusion of cells, new antigen. C.integration D.apoptosis E.inclusion body: An area of abnormal staining in a virus- infected cell. F.Cell transformation : alternation in cell morphology and / or behaviour, …….

  37. Viral pathogenicity and Immunity 3.Viruses-host interaction 2)Host immune response A.   inflammatory reaction Bacteria : inflitration of polymophonuclear leukocyte Viruses : inflitration of mononuclear cell and lymphocytes. B. Immune pathology a. Cell-mediated immunity : measles virus , HIV b. Antibody-mediated immunity : dengue virus : ab+RBC+C----hemolysis, HBV

  38. Viral pathogenicity and Immunity II.Immunity for viral infection 1.non-specific immune NK , IFN 1)Interference phenomenon A.Definition : prevention of the replication of one virus by another. B.Types of interference C.Mechanisms of interference

  39. Viral pathogenicity and Immunity 2)Interferon (IFN) A.   Definition: Interferons(IFNs) are host-coded proteins of the large cytokine family that inhibit viral replication; they are produced by intact animals or cultured cells in response to viral infection or other inducers. B.   types of IFN C.   antiviral activity

  40. Antiviral activity
