1

2 Virus?

3 Warts are a skin virus!

4 Characteristics of Protist No Nucleus Ring of DNA Asexual Reproduction

5 Virus structure : Protein Coat Has DNA or RNA for replication Host specific

6 Are viruses living or non-living? Nonliving Not cells Few of life’s criteria No respiration No growth No development Can be crystalline, dormant Living Replicate (with host) Contain DNA or RNA Contain protein coat

7 4..Bacteriophage Bacteria “eating” virus Virus uses the bacteria as a host for Viral replication

8 Plant peach virus 5.Virus can infect Plants Animals Bacteria

9 Herpes mouth virus:

10 Chicken Pox & Polio Virus

11 Rabies virus Hepatitis B (Liver)

12 Cow pox vaccination 1749 Acquired Immunization Artificial injection of a small amount of virus Body’s immune response makes antibodies

13 Lytic Cycle (Replication) of a Virus - “AVIRAL” 1.Adsorption of virus onto the host 2. Insertion of Virus DNA into host cell 3. Replication of Viral DNA 4. Assembly of protein coat 5.Lysis of Host cell Membrane & release Of virus

14 Viral Replication:

15 HIV virus structure:

16 HIV Virus

17 HIV virus infects T-cells HIV virus Weakens the immune system AIDS patients die of “common” diseases when T cell (WBC) count falls

18 AIDS = break down of the immune system & death due to common diseases versus death by AIDS virus
