HOW DO VIRUSES CROSS THE SPECIES BARRIER? Rachel Rezabek

How a Virus Works  Viruses cannot survive without a host cell  Once in contact with a host cell…  Inserts genetic material  Produces viruses rather than normal products  Happens due to specific shapes (epitope receptors) present on the surface of the virus /intelligent-virus-tricks 11s/human-body/2011/08/a-super-drug-for-a-super- bug.aspx

Virus-Host Interaction  Interactions necessary…  Host-host [different species] Contact must occur  Virus-host Must get past the new host’s immune system  Host-host [same species] Must interact and pass on the mutated virus  This jump cannot occur without mutations nsion.html

Bird Flu  Passed through bodily secretions  Many different subtypes  Dependent on the protein on the surface (HA and NA)  Humans cannot defend against certain variations of these proteins  Not all strains survive today  Some major strains include… H3N8- first known outbreak H5N1- most recent major outbreak (2003)  Birds have been hunted to help prevent further contact and outbreaks

Swine Flu  Originated from pigs  Contact caused mutation that allowed it to spread  Also known as the H1N1 virus  Most common strain  First present in 1918, reappeared in 1977  Killed million people
