  2. plant viruses can stop the growth of plants • mostly RNA – viruses • virus of tobacco mosaic • transfer from a plant to another plant by insects, seeds, vegetative reproduction • symptoms: • formation of spots on the leaves • rolling up the leaves • abortive growth VIRAL DISEASES OF PLANTS

  3. proteins cause infectious diseases of brain • slow degeneration of nervous system • incubation period – several years • scarpie – by sheep • BSE by cattle „mad cows´ disease“ • 1986 first diagnosed in Great Britain • brain > sponge form • CJD – human form of prion infection PRIONS

  4. faulty shape variant of particular protein in brain cells> degeneration • resistant against higher temperatures, enzymes • Nobel prize in 1997 - Stanley Prusiner PRIONS

  5. viruses penetrate into organisms: • through injured skin • through mucous membranes of respiratory ways • through mucous membranes of digestive system • they reproduce at the place of entering > virus of common cold • they reproduce in the target cells > they spread through lymph and blood • viruses are excreted: • through the mucus from nose, larynx • salivas • through peeled off skin • through blood, urine, excrements VIRAL DISEASES OF ANIMALS AND HUMAN

  6. common cold virus > influenza • it belongs to RNA – viruses • fever • ague • headache, pain in muscles • various tribes of viruses > they cross over > new genetic combinations – human do not have antibodies • > pandemic VIRAL DISEASES OF ANIMALS AND HUMAN

  7. smallpox (variola) • foot-and-mouth disease > animals • viral hepatitis B • verrucas • adenoviruses > catarrhs of upper respiratory ways • herpes simplex • herpes zoster DNA VIRUSES

  8. polio • HIV • viral hepatitis A • common cold • influenza • mumps • measles • rabies • rubella • encephalitis DNA VIRUSES

  9. immune system • vaccination based on the ability of the immune system to produce antibodies • vaccine: • weakened originator of disease > stimulation of the immune system • vaccines against: • polio • measles • rubella PROTECTION AGAINST INFECTION
