Common Respiratory Viruses
This virus is often associated with the common cold and is part of the Picornaviridae family. Symptoms include a sore throat, fatigue,and aches.
What is Rhinovirus?
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is classified within this viral family.
What is Paramyxoviridae?
This virus is spread by water droplets spread by an infected person (coughing, sneezing).
What is respiratory syncytial virus?
This collects in the small airways of the lungs, leading to breathing problems in bronchiolitis.
What is mucus?
This presenter has a family of four, and each member was born in a different country.
Who is Naomi?
This common seasonal virus is classified into types A and B and requires people to get annual vaccines.
What is Influenza virus?
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is characterized by the presence this structural components on its surface.
What is F protein?
RSV enters the cell through this mechanism.
What is fusion?
A 6-month-old infant has a runny nose, cough, and trouble breathing. The doctor suspects RSV. This is the location where RSV usually starts to infect the body before causing bronchiolitis.
Where is the upper respiratory tract?
This presenter is mildly allergic to cats and ants.
This respiratory virus is known for causing severe respiratory distress in infants and is the leading cause of bronchiolitis in children under two years old.
What is Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)?
A researcher isolates a virus and determines that it carries a negative-sense RNA genome. This enzyme must be present in the virion to ensure successful replication and transcription of its genome.
What is RNA-dependent RNA polymerase?
These TWO major components are found in a RSV capsid before it invades a cell.
What are (-) sense single-stranded RNA AND RNA-dependent RNA polymerase?
This is how RT-PCR helps in detecting RSV in infants.
A) It amplifies the virus's RNA to detect it
B) It looks for viral DNA with a probe
C) It detects viral proteins
D) It breaks down the virus and analyzes its parts
E) It measures the amount of virus present
What is A) It amplifies the virus's RNA to detect it?
This presenter knows how to wakeboard, but not snowboard.
Who is Jackson?
Unlike typical influenza, this virus often causes anosmia (loss of smell) and dysgeusia (loss of taste) as prominent symptoms.
What is SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)?
This is a reason why Gram-negative bacteria are generally more resistant to certain antibiotics compared to Gram-positive bacteria?
What is the presence of an outer cell wall?
The RSV virus leaves the cell through this unique method.
What is viral budding?
This baby is most at risk for severe RSV bronchiolitis?
A) A full-term, healthy baby
B) A baby with heart disease
C) A baby with no previous infections
D) A baby who was recently vaccinated
E) A baby who is exclusively breastfed
Who is Baby B?
This presenter learned English from watching Spongebob.
Who is Monica?
Upon physical exam, Joseph presented symptoms of this virus, including mild wheezing, cold-like symptoms, difficulty breathing, and a fever.
What is respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)?
This class of antibiotics works by inhibiting the synthesis of peptidoglycan, thereby weakening the bacterial cell wall?
What are β-lactams (i.e. penicillins)?
These are the two branches of an immune response to a virus.
What is innate and adaptive immune immunity?
This is what can help prevent hospitalization in babies at high risk for RSV bronchiolitis.
A) Regular antibiotics
B) Monthly injections during RSV season
C) Daily vitamin supplements
D) Regular use of inhalers
E) Live vaccines
What is B) Monthly injections during RSV season?
Who is the starting quarterback for the TCU Horned Frogs this season?
Who is Josh Hoover.
