1 DNA viruses

2 Papovaviruses Human Papovaviridae Papillomavirus - warts Polyomavirus
BK virus – renal disease JC virus – progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy

3 Parvoviruses The parvoviridae are the smallest of the DNA viruses.
Only one member of the Parvoviridae, B19 is known to cause human disaese – erythema infectiosum (fifth disease), a common childhood exanthem.

4 Adenoviruses Adenoviruses were first isolated in 1953 in a human adenoid cell culture. Since then, approximatelly 100 serotypes, at 47 of which infect humans, have been recognized.

5 Adenovirus infections in human
Adenoviruses infect epithelial cells of the pharynx, conjuctiva, small intestine, and occasionally other organ systems. They usually do not spread beyond the regional lymph nodes.

6 Adenovirus infections in humans
Respiratory diseases acute febrile pharyngitis pharyngoconjuctival fever acute respiratory disease pneumonia Eye infections Gastrointestinal disease Other diseases acute hemorrhagis cystitis in children cervical lessions urethritis

7 Human herpesviruses Alphaherpesvirinae Betaherpesvirinae
Herpes simplex type 1 Herpes simplex type 2 Varicella zoster virus Betaherpesvirinae Cytomegalovirus Human Herpes virus 6,7 Gammaherpesvirinae Epstein-Barr virus Kaposi´s sarcoma-related virus

8 Poxviruses Poxviruses are the largest and most complex of viruses.
Infections with the most poxviruses are characterized by a rash, although lesions induced by some members of the family are markedly proliferative.

9 Poxviruses Poxviruses include the human viruses variolla (smallpox) and molluscum contagiosum poxvirus.
