Osterhaus 3, Christian Drosten 4, Mark A. Pallansch 1, Larry J. Anderson 1, William J. Bellini 1 In March 2003, a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV) was discovered in association with cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). The sequence of the complete genome of SARS-CoV was determined, and the initial characterization of the viral genome is presented in this report. The genome of SARS-CoV is 29,727 nucleotides in length, has 11 open reading frames, and the genome organization is similar to that of other coronaviruses. Phylogenetic analyses and sequence comparisons showed that SARS-CoV is not closely related to any of the previously characterized coronaviruses.
SARS Returns or Lab Accident? Singapore Wonders(Reuters)Wed September 10, 2003
Ebola haemorrhagic fever in the Republic of the Congo - Update 12 7 May 2003 Disease Outbreak Reported As of 6 May 2003, the Ministry of Health has reported 143 cases, including 128 deaths, in the districts of Mbomo and Kéllé in Cuvette Ouest Département ( see previous report ). Thirteen of the cases are laboratory confirmed and 130 are epidemiologically linked. The two most recent deaths reported ocurred on the 22 April, one in the remote village of Ndjoukou (in Kéllé district) and the other in a forest camp near Kéllé town. Twenty-one contacts have been identified in Ndjoukou and Kéllé town and are being visited on a regular basis by the surveillance team. The Ministry of Health and the Congolese Red Cross are continuing their activities (social mobilization, surveillance and case management) in the affected areas.

MODES OF VIRUS TRANSMISSION • Respiratory • Fecal-Oral • Contact (fomites, lesions, saliva) • Zoonoses (insects and animals) • Blood • Sexual • Materal-Neonatal
WNV-SLE Virus Transmission Cycle Incidental infections Mosquito vector SLE, WNV virus
CONTROLLING VIRUS • Prophylaxis is our best tool(preventive treatment). • Vaccines • Universal precautions for handlingof blood and body fluids. • Education
Viral Classification, Structure and Replication Cellular Level
WHAT IS A VIRUS? “filterable agents” Obligate intracellular parasites RNA or DNA genome
~25 nm ~300 nm
VIRAL CLASSIFICATION • Disease • Mode of transmission • Structure • Biochemical characteristics The most consistent classification is by physical and biochemical characteristics such as type of genome (RNA or DNA), presence or absence of envelope.
Picornavirus (+) RNA virus Genome used as mRNA Rhabdovirus (-) RNA virus Viral Polymerase produces mRNA AAA Viral polyprotein Viral proteins
Virion – the complete virus particle Capsid – the protein coat surrounding the nucleic acid genome Capsomers – the repeating protein subunits that make up the capsid Protomers – the polypeptide chains which make up the capsomers
Symmetry – The viral capsid is assembled from individual proteins. The arrangement of the capsid around its viral genetic material is unique for each type of virus. The general properties of this arrangement define the shape and symmetry. The simplest structures that can be built are helical and icosahedral.
