Concept of Virology
• Virology is the bioscience for study of
viral nature, and the relationship
between virus and host.
• Viruses often cause serious diseases,
relate to some cancers and congenital
deformities, also can be used as tool for
genetic engineering.
Definition of Virus
Viruses may be defined as acellular organisms
whose genomes consist of nucleic acid protected
by the protein coat, and which obligately
replicate inside host cells and too small to be seen
by electron microscopy.
History
L. Pasteur in 1884 and A. Mayer in 1886
• Studied on mosaic disease of Tobacco plant/ transformation of disease
D. Iwanowsky in 1892
• Studied on extract from tobacco plant suffering from mosaic disease.
Filtration mechanism
M. Beijernick in 1898
• Disease causing filterable viruses multiply in host
F. Twort and F.d herelle
• Some viruses infect bacteria called bacteriophage
W. Stanley in 1935
• Demonstrate the structure of plant virus that was Tobacco Mosaic Virus
(TMV)
Viral Properties/ Characteristics
• Viruses are inert (nucleoprotein ) filterable
agents
• Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites
• Viruses cannot make energy or proteins
independent of a host cell
• Viral genome are RNA or DNA but not both.
• Viruses have a naked capsid or envelope with
attached lipoproteins
• Viruses do not have the genetic capability to
multiply by division.
• Viruses are non-living entities
Consequences of Viral Properties
• Viruses are non living out side the cell
• Viruses are disease causing agent
• Viruses must be able to use host cell processes to
produce their components (viral messenger RNA,
protein, and identical copies of the genome)
• Viral components must self-assemble
• The fully assembled infective particle is called
Virion.
Challenges the way we define life
• viruses do not respire,
• they do not move
• they do not grow
• they do most certainly reproduce, and may adapt
to new hosts.
Types Of Viruses
Animal viruses:
• cause disease in man and animals.
• Contain DNA core covered by capsid.
Plant viruses:
•cause disease in plants.
•Contain RNA core covered by
protective protein.
TypesOf Viruses
Retroviruses:
• cause disease in humans
• containing RNA as genetic material.
Gemini viruses:
• cause disease in plants.
• Contain ss-DNA as genetic material

Viral Capsid
• The protein shell, or coat, that encloses
the nucleic acid genome.
• Functions:
• a. Protect the viral nucleic acid.
• b. Participate in the viral infection.
• c. Share the antigenicity
Nucleocapsid
•The core of a virus particle
consisting of the genome plus
a complex of proteins.
• complex of proteins = Structural proteins
+Non- Structural proteins (Enzymes &
Nucleic acid binding proteins)
Capsomeres
•The viral coat (capsid) are
often built up of identical
repeating units called
capsomeres
Symmetry of Nucleocapsid
• Helical
• Cubic /Icosahedral
• Complex
Helical
• Helical symmetry
• Containing RNA core
• Capsid cover with
capsomeres
• Mostly Rod shaped
• Including animal and
plant virus
Example of Helical
TMV
Coronavirus
Hantavirus
Influenza Virus (Flu Virus)
Measles Virus ( Rubeola)
Mumps Virus
Parainfluenza Virus
Rabies Virus
Respiratory Syncytial Virus(RSV)
Cubicor icosahedral symmetry
• Cubic or icosahedral symmetry
• Identical 20 triangularunits arranged in cluster of five or
six, 12 corner and 30 edges
• covered with capsomeres
• Mostly spherical shaped
• Including animal virus
Cubicor icosahedralsymmetry

Properties of naked viruses
• Stable in hostile environment
• Not damaged by drying, acid, detergent, and heat
• Released by lysis of host cells
• Can sustain in dry environment
• Can infect the GI (gastrointestinal tract) and
survive in the acid condition
• Can spread easily via hands, dust, fomites, etc
• Can stay dry and still retain infectivity
• Neutralizing mucosal and systemic antibodies are
needed to control the establishment of infection
Naked viruses( Non Enveloped )
Example
Hepatitis A Virus (HAV)
Hepatitis E Virus (HEV)
Envelope
Envelope
•A lipid-containing membrane that
surrounds some viral particles.
• It is acquired during viral maturation by a
budding process through a cellular
membrane, Viruses-encoded glycoproteins
are exposed on the surface of the envelope.
• Not all viruses have the envelope, and
viruses can be divided into 2 kinds:
enveloped virus and naked virus.
Functions of envelope
• Antigenicity
some viruses possess
neuraminidase (The enzyme helps
viruses to be released from a host
cell).
• Infectivity
• Resistance
Properties of enveloped viruses
• Labile in dry , arid environment
• Damaged by drying, acid, detergent,
and heat
• Pick up new cell membrane during
multiplication
• Insert new virus-specific proteins after
assembly
• Virus is released by budding
Consequences of Properties for
enveloped viruses
• Must stay moist
• Must not infect the GI tract for survival
• Must be transmitted by droplets, secretions,
blood and body fluids
• Must re-infect another host cell to sustain
• Humoral and cell-mediated immunity are
needed to control the infection
Enveloped
• California Encephalitis Virus
• Coronavirus
• Hantavirus
Hepatitis B Virus (HBV)
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)
Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV)
Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HHV1)
• Rotavirus
• Rubella Virus
Smallpox Virus (Variola)
Vaccinia Virus
• Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (HHV2)
Human Immunodeficiency
Virus (HIV)
Human T-lymphotrophic Virus
(HTLV)
Influenza Virus (Flu Virus)
Polio virus
Rhinovirus
Yellow Fever Virus
Spike or Peplomer
A peplomer is a glycoprotein spike on a viral capsid or
viral envelope. These protrusions will only bind to certain
receptors on the host cell, they are essential for viral
infectivity.
QUIZ????
Write the
difference
between naked
and enveloped
virus??
Don’t be
cheater
Viroids
•Viroids are small (200-400nt), circular
RNA molecules with a rod-like
secondary structure which possess no
capsid or envelope which are associated
with certain plant diseases. Their
replication strategy like that of viruses -
they are obligate intracellular parasites.

(Prions)
• Prions are rather ill-defined infectious agents
believed to consist of a single type of protein
molecule with no nucleic acid component.
Confusion arises from the fact that the prion
protein & the gene which encodes it are also found
in normal 'uninfected' cells. These agents are
associated with diseases such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob
disease in humans, scrapie in sheep & bovine
spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle.

  • 52. Envelope •A lipid-containing membrane that surrounds some viral particles. • It is acquired during viral maturation by a budding process through a cellular membrane, Viruses-encoded glycoproteins are exposed on the surface of the envelope. • Not all viruses have the envelope, and viruses can be divided into 2 kinds: enveloped virus and naked virus.
  • 53. Functions of envelope • Antigenicity some viruses possess neuraminidase (The enzyme helps viruses to be released from a host cell). • Infectivity • Resistance
  • 54.
  • 55. Properties of enveloped viruses • Labile in dry , arid environment • Damaged by drying, acid, detergent, and heat • Pick up new cell membrane during multiplication • Insert new virus-specific proteins after assembly • Virus is released by budding
  • 56. Consequences of Properties for enveloped viruses • Must stay moist • Must not infect the GI tract for survival • Must be transmitted by droplets, secretions, blood and body fluids • Must re-infect another host cell to sustain • Humoral and cell-mediated immunity are needed to control the infection

  • 64. (Prions) • Prions are rather ill-defined infectious agents believed to consist of a single type of protein molecule with no nucleic acid component. Confusion arises from the fact that the prion protein & the gene which encodes it are also found in normal 'uninfected' cells. These agents are associated with diseases such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans, scrapie in sheep & bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle.

  1. Humoral Immunity - this involves the use of antibodies produced by the b cells to attack any invading foreign bodies like bacteria, viruses etc. Production of memory cells also takes place for a faster response in case of a second infection. Cell mediated immunity- this involves the destruction of self cells damaged by mutations or infected by viruses. this form of immunity includes cells like cytotoxic t cells nk cells.
