[q] The presence of …………..  in the pregnant mother significantly increases the risk of vertical transmission of the virus?

[c]IFNob3cgbWUgdG hlIGFuc3dlcg==[Qq]

[f]IEhCZUFnLg==[Qq]

[q] Which type of hepatitis virus?

– There is no proofreading 3′-5′ exonuclease activity built into the virion-encoded RNA polymerase. As a result, the RNA polymerase makes many errors during replication.

– The tremendous antigenic variety of this virus has significantly slowed efforts to develop a vaccine against the virus.

[f]IEhlcGF0aXRpcyBDIHZpcnVzLg==

Cg==

Cg==[Qq]

[q] Which type of hepatitis virus?

– Replication-defective RNA virus that is only capable of causing infection when encapsulated with HBsAg of the hepatitis B virus.

– In a population that is universally vaccinated with recombinant HBsAg, then, this virus would not be able to replicate and would cease to be a significant threat.

 

[c]IFNob3cgbWUgdG hlIGFuc3dlcg==[Qq]

[f]IEhlcGF0aXRpcyBEIHZpcnVzLg==[Qq]

[q] Which type of hepatitis virus?

– Unenveloped, single-stranded RNA virus spread through the fecal-oral route.

– The most concerning feature of this virus is the high mortality rate observed in infected pregnant women.

[c]IFNob3cgbWUgdG hlIGFuc3dlcg==[Qq]

[f]IEhlcGF0aXRpcyBFIHZpcnVzLg==[Qq]

[q] Which type of viral genetics?

–  Exchange of genes between 2 chromosomes via crossing over within homologous regions.

– The resulting progeny can have recombined genomes with traits from both parent viruses.

[c]IFNob3cgbWUgdG hlIGFuc3dlcg==[Qq]

[f]IFJlY29tYmluYXRpb24u[Qq]

[q] Which type of viral genetics?

– When viruses with segmented genomes (influenza virus) exchange genetic material.

– For example, the 2009 novel H1N1 influenza A pandemic emerged via complex viral reassortment of genes from human, swine, and avian viruses.

– Has potential to cause antigenic shift.

[c]IFNob3cgbWUgdG hlIGFuc3dlcg==[Qq]

[f]IFJlYXNzb3J0bWVudC4=[Qq]

 

[q] Which type of viral genetics?

– When 1 of 2 viruses that infect the cell has a mutation that results in a nonfunctional protein, the nonmutated virus “complements” the mutated one by making a functional protein that serves both viruses.

– For example, hepatitis D virus requires the presence of replicating hepatitis B virus to supply HBsAg, the envelope protein for HDV.

[c]IFNob3cgbWUgdG hlIGFuc3dlcg==[Qq]

[f]IENvbXBsZW1lbnRhdGlvbi4=[Qq]

 

[q] Which type of viral genetics?

– Occurs with simultaneous infection of a cell with 2 viruses.

– For progeny 1, genome of virus A can be partially or completely coated (forming pseudovirion) with the surface proteins of virus B (phenotypic masking). Type B protein coat determines the tropism (infectivity) of the hybrid virus.

– Progeny from subsequent infection of a cell by progeny 1 will have a type A coat that is encoded by its type A genetic material.
