main mode of transmission of influenza
Aerosol
enumerate the protein spikes in influenzae
hemagglutinin or “H” spike
neuraminidase or “N” spike
posttransitional cleavage occurs in: A. hemagglutinin or "H" spike B. neuraminidase or "N" spike C. both D. neither
A
facilitates release of virion A. hemagglutinin or "H" spike B. neuraminidase or "N" spike C. both D. neither
B
promotes fusion A. hemagglutinin or "H" spike B. neuraminidase or "N" spike C. both D. neither
A
prevents aggregation of virus A. hemagglutinin or "H" spike B. neuraminidase or "N" spike C. both D. neither
B
cleaves sialic acid residues of mucus A. hemagglutinin or "H" spike B. neuraminidase or "N" spike C. both D. neither
b
binds to receptor with sialic acid A. hemagglutinin or "H" spike B. neuraminidase or "N" spike C. both D. neither
A
Minor mutations in the hemagglutinin antigen
• Makes prior immunity less effective and ensures that
enough susceptible people are available for the
survival of the virus
identify
antigenic drift
Occur when two separate strains of influenza infect
the same cell simultaneously
antigenic shift
may cause pandemics A. antigenic shift B. antigenic drift C. both D. neighter
A
Which is not a reason for Type B's "non-pandemicity"? A.There is no known animal reservoir. B. Antigenic shifts only C. both D. neighter
B
drift, not shift
shift–>pandemic
Sequence the pathogenesis of influenza:
A. secondary bacterial infection
B. impairment of ciliary clearance
C. inflammation and irritation of respi tract
D. virus binds to ciliated columnar cells
E. shedding of ciliated columnar cells
