Noravirus and Rotavirus
4 important questions on Noravirus and Rotavirus
What is a norovirus?
- Non-enveloped (+)ssRNA virus
- can bind to the membrane or pilli form intestinal bacteria because they express sort like HBGA structures
- acute gastroenteritis
- transmission through faecal-oral route
What are the steps of host infection Norovirus? How do the virus particle travel?
- Ingestion of Norovirus
- Intestins
- Excretion feces
Travel by vesicule with multiple virus particles inside
What is the life cycle of Norovirus? Cellular receptor binding?
- attaches over HBGA receptors → glycans expressed on the surface of specific cells
- HBGAs in blood or saliva/other bodily secretion
- replicates in B cells, intestinal epithelial cells, macrophage/dendrite cells
- cleaves of the proteins
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What is a rotavirus?
- Non-enveloped segmented dsRNA
- recombination "viral sex" can easily occur due to that rotavirus is a segmented virus
- 3 layer of capsid to protect virus since it has no envelope
- Reproduce in viral vector that thy build themselves: virus factory's for replication in intestine: Enterocytes
- cause gastroenteritis
Vaccine available which works (not in NL)
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
