StructureStructure* Viruses consist of a nucleic acid core containing
the viral genome, surrounded by a protein shell called a capsid.
* The capsid consist of repeating units of one or more protein molecules called capsomeres.
* Nucleic acid + Capsid + Capsomere = Nucleocapsid
* Nucleocapsid may be naked or enveloped within a lipoprotein sheath. * In enveloped viruses the protein units called
capsomeres.

Viral Nucleic acidViral Nucleic acid• DNA or RNA never both.• The RNA, in turn, may be ss or ds and the
genome may consist of one or several molecules of nucleic acid.
• If the genomes composed of a single molecules , this may linear or have a circular configuration.

Viral ProteinViral Protein• Made up of 2 or 3 different polypeptide
chains (some only 1 polypeptide). • Virion surface proteins may have a special
affinity for receptors on the surface of host cells.

• Viral lipid and Carbohydrate: The lipids and carbohydrates of viruses are found in the envelopes and mostly derived from the host cells.
• Virus symmetry: arranging of nucleocapsids:
1- Icosahedral symmetry: ex. Herpesviruses.
2- Helical symmerty: Most mammalian RNA viruses.
3- Complex symmetry: ex. Poxviruses.

DNA virusesDNA virusesPapovaviruses:
Small, icosahedral DNA viruses with capacity to produce tumours in vivo and to transform cultured cell lines.
Papilomavirus:
This genus contain human serotypes which cause benign skin tumours or warts and both oral and skin papilomas (e.g. hand and plantar warts)- it is now known that the papilomaviruses may be involved in genital and oral cancers.

DNA virusesDNA virusesAdenoviruses:Icosahedral DNA viruses, commonly associated
with respiratory and eye infections in humans.Syndromes associated with adenoviruses include: * acute febrile pharyngitis (primarily in infants and children). * acute adult respiratory disease, ranging from phryngitis to pneumonia. * ocular infections.

DNA virusesDNA virusesHerpesviruses:Predominant viral cause of oral infections in
humans, often the infections are recurrent, and latent.

During Reproduction:
Typical and highly intracellular inclusions are found in cells that have undergo active virus replication.
|* Polykaryotes or giant cells readily appear in tissue lesions.

Different herpesviruses cause a variety of infections diseases, some localized and some generalized, often with vesicular rash.
Herpesviruses establish latent infection, which can be readily reactivated by immunosuppression.
The herpesviruses that commonly infect humans can be distinguished by their antigenic and genomic profiles.
They cannot be differentiated by electron microscopy owing to identical capsid morphology.

Viral ReplicationViral Replication
1- Adsorption or attachment of the virus particle to the specific receptors of the host cell plasma membrane.
2- Penetration or uptake: the process by which the virus or its genome enters the host cell cytoplasm by three mechanisms:
Endocytosis, fusion and translocation.

3- Uncoating and eclipse: The eclipse phase= begins with uncoating of the lipid membrane and protein capsid surrounding the nucleic acid viral core.
4- Transcription: synthesis of viral mRNA then transcription and synthesis of viral proteins.
5- Synthesis of viral components.
6- Assembly
7- Release

first in lymphoid tissue, then brain cells
The vacuoles in brain cells give rise to the sponge-like appearance of the brain.
