  1. Viruses Chapter 24 Table of Contents Section 1 Viral Structure and Replication Section 2 Viral Diseases

  2. Section 1 Viral Structure and Replication Chapter 24 Objectives • Summarizethe discovery of viruses. • Describewhy viruses are not considered living organisms. • Describethe basic structure of viruses. • Comparethe lytic and lysogenic cycles of virus replication. • Summarizethe origin of viruses.

  3. Section 1 Viral Structure and Replication Chapter 24 Discovery of Viruses • Researchers in the late 1800s discovered that something smaller than bacteria could cause disease. • In 1935, Wendell Stanley demonstrated that viruses were not cells when he crystallized TMV, the virus that causes tobacco mosaic disease in tobacco and tomato plants.

  4. Section 1 Viral Structure and Replication Chapter 24 Virus

  5. Section 1 Viral Structure and Replication Chapter 24 Characteristics of Viruses • Viruses do not have all of the characteristics of life and are therefore not considered to be living. • Viral Size and Structure • Viruses are nonliving particles containing DNA or RNA and are surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid. • Some viruses also have an envelope that is derived from a host cell’s nuclear membrane or cell membrane.

  6. Section 1 Viral Structure and Replication Chapter 24 Parts of a Virus

  7. Section 1 Viral Structure and Replication Chapter 24 Characteristics of Viruses, continued • Classification of Viruses • Viruses can be classified based on whether they have • RNA or DNA, • whether the RNA or DNA is single or double stranded and circular or linear, • by capsid shape, • and whether or not they have an envelope.

  8. Section 1 Viral Structure and Replication Chapter 24 Viral Replication • Replication in DNA Viruses • DNA viruses can enter host cells • and directly produce RNA, • or they can insert into a host’s chromosome, • where they are transcribed to RNA along with the host’s DNA.

  9. Section 1 Viral Structure and Replication Chapter 24 Viral Replication, continued • Replication in RNA Viruses • The RNA genome of some RNA viruses can be directly translated to make viral proteins. • Retroviruses use reverse transcriptase and RNA as a template to make DNA, which is then used to produce viral RNA and proteins.

  10. Section 1 Viral Structure and Replication Chapter 24 Viral Replication, continued • Replication in Viruses That Infect Prokaryotes • Bacteriophagesare viruses that infect bacteria.

  11. Section 1 Viral Structure and Replication Chapter 24 Viral Replication, continued • Lytic Cycle • Viruses can follow a lytic cycle, making new viral particles immediately.

  12. Section 1 Viral Structure and Replication Chapter 24 Lytic Cycle

  13. Section 1 Viral Structure and Replication Chapter 24 Viral Replication, continued • Lysogenic Cycle • Viruses can follow a lysogenic cycle, becoming part of the host genome and making new particles later.

  14. Section 1 Viral Structure and Replication Chapter 24 Lysogenic Cycle

  15. Section 1 Viral Structure and Replication Chapter 24 The Lytic and Lysogenic Cycles

  16. Section 1 Viral Structure and Replication Chapter 24 Viral Replication, continued • Viruses: Tools for Biotechnology • Viruses are important tools for biotechnology.

  17. Section 1 Viral Structure and Replication Chapter 24 The Origin of Viruses • Most scientists think viruses originated from fragments of host-cell nucleic-acid material.

  18. Section 2 Viral Diseases Chapter 24 Objectives • Nameseveral vectors of viral diseases. • Identifyfour viral diseases that result in serious human illnesses. • Discuss the relationship between viruses and cancer. • Namethree examples of emerging viral diseases. • Comparethe effectiveness of vaccination, vector control, and drug therapy in fighting viruses. • Contrastviroids, prions, and viruses.

  19. Section 2 Viral Diseases Chapter 24 Vectors of Viral Diseases • Vectors, or hosts, of viral diseases include humans, animals, and insects.

  20. Section 2 Viral Diseases Chapter 24 Human Viral Diseases • Viruses cause many human diseases, including: • the common cold, • flu, • hepatitis, • rabies, • chickenpox, • certain types of cancer, • and AIDS.

  21. Section 2 Viral Diseases Chapter 24 Human Viral Diseases, continued • Chickenpox and Shingles • Chickenpox and shingles are caused by the same varicella-zoster herpesvirus.

  22. Section 2 Viral Diseases Chapter 24 Human Viral Diseases, continued • Viral Hepatitis • Hepatitis, or inflammation of the liver, can be caused by at least five viruses: • Hepatitis A and Hepatitis E can be spread by fecally contaminated food and water. • Hepatitis B, C, and D are spread by sexual contact, by contact with infected blood and serum,and by the use of contaminated needles.

  23. Section 2 Viral Diseases Chapter 24 Human Viral Diseases, continued • Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) • The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is an RNA virus spread by: • sexual contact, • by contact with infected body fluids, • and from mother to fetus. • HIV targets macrophages and thus damages the body’s immune system. The disease called acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) results.

  24. Section 2 Viral Diseases Chapter 24 AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome)

  25. Section 2 Viral Diseases Chapter 24 Human Viral Diseases, continued • Viruses and Cancer • Some viruses contain oncogenes that can cause cancer, while other viruses convertproto-oncogenes, which usually control cell growth,tooncogenes.

  26. Section 2 Viral Diseases Chapter 24 Emerging Viral Diseases • Emerging viruses usually infect animals isolated in nature but can jump to humans when contact occurs in the environment.

  27. Section 2 Viral Diseases Chapter 24 Prevention and Treatment • Vaccinations • A vaccine contains a harmless version of a virus, bacterium, or a toxin that causes an immune response when introduced to the body. • Vaccines have helped to greatly reduce certain viral diseases.

  28. Section 2 Viral Diseases Chapter 24 Prevention and Treatment, continued • Vector Control • Control efforts, including killing mosquitoes and other vectors and quarantining ill patients, have helped reduce the spread of certain viral diseases.

  29. Section 2 Viral Diseases Chapter 24 Prevention and Treatment, continued • Drug Therapy • Antibiotics are ineffective against viral diseases. • Viral drugs, such as acyclovir, block specific steps in viral replication.

  30. Section 2 Viral Diseases Chapter 24 Virods and Prions • Viroids are short, circular, single strands of RNA lacking a capsid that infect plant cells. • Prionsare infectious particles containing protein but no nucleic acids. • Prions cause mad cow disease and similar degenerative brain diseases.
