Viruses, especially those made of RNA, can mutate rapidly to give rise to new types. Hosts may have little protection against such new forms. Influenza virus, for example, changes often, so a new vaccine is needed each year. Major changes can cause pandemics, as in the 2009 swine influenza that spread to most countries. Often, these mutations ...
Examples of vertical transmission include hepatitis B virus and HIV, where the baby is born already infected with the virus. [116] Another, more rare, example is the varicella zoster virus , which, although causing relatively mild infections in children and adults, can be fatal to the foetus and newborn baby.
An example of such a name is Canid alphaherpesvirus 1. From this name it can be ascertained that the virus' primary natural host is a canid (i.e. a member of the family Canidae ; dogs etc.), that it is a member of the family Herpesviridae and subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae , and that it is the first herpesvirus named for which canids serve as ...
This is a list of all virus species, including satellites and viroids. Excluded are other ranks, and other non-cellular life such as prions. Also excluded are common names and obsolete names for viruses. The taxonomy is taken from ICTV taxonomy 2022 release [1] For a list of virus families and subfamilies, see List of virus families and ...
Coxsackie B virus: Coxsackie B virus infection Enterovirus infection is diagnosed mainly via serological tests such as ELISA and from cell culture. There is no well-accepted treatment for the Coxsackie B group of viruses. Under research [10] PRNP: Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) No Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus Crimean-Congo ...
Viruses are assigned according to their similarity to known lab based strains—the ΦX174-like clade, G4-like clade and the α3-like clade. The ΦX174-like clade of microviridae have the smallest and least variable genomes (5,386–5,387 bp); the G4-like clade varies in size from 5,486 to 5,487 bp; while the largest genome sized group is the ...
Viruses in the Paramyxoviridae family are also antigenically stable, meaning that the glycoproteins on the viruses are consistent between different strains of the same type. Two reasons for this phenomenon are posited: The first is that the genome is nonsegmented, thus cannot undergo genetic reassortment .
