This step starts the viral replication process

What is Adsorption?

200

Genetic recombination event that results in a new strain of virus

What is Antigenic Drift?

200
This is a large, diverse group of viruses, most of which are transmitted by mosquitoes, which includes the deadly Hantavirus.
What is Bunyavirus.
200
These viruses are unique because of their ability to alter antigenic composition, thus reinfecting “nonimmune” susceptible hosts.
What is influenzae viruses
200
This is the first indication of a hepatitis B infection.
What is HBsAg.
200

This method uses fluorescent labeled antibodies to detect antigens from viral cells in the specimen

What is DFA?

These hepatitis viruses have been scientifically identified as being spread by transfusion of unscreened blood transfusion products.
What is Hepatitis B and C.
300

Poliovirus is a member of this viral family

What is Picornaviridae?

300
To avoid transplacental infection followed by congenital defects, this series of serologic tests is often performed during pregnancy.
What is TORCH (Toxoplasma, rubella, cytomegalovirus, and herpes simplex virus)
