PrPSc

14) A persistent infection is one in which

the disease process occurs gradually over a long period

Which of the following statements is FALSE?

The prophage makes the host cell immune to infection by other phages.

An infectious protein is a

prion

An envelope is acquired during which of the following steps?

release

It causes lysis of host cells.

An example of a latent viral infection is

cold sores

A viruss ability to infect an animal cell depends primarily upon the

presence of receptor sites on the cell membrane

Assume you have isolated an unknown virus. This virus has a single, positive sense strand of RNA, and possesses an envelope. To which group does it most likely belong

togavirus

The mechanism whereby an enveloped virus leaves a host cell is called

budding

The most conclusive evidence that viruses cause cancers is provided by

cancer following injection of cell-free filtrates

Bacteriophages derive all of the following from the host cell EXCEPT

lysozyme

Bacteriophage replication differs from animal virus replication because only bacteriophage replication involves

injection of naked nucleic acid into the host cell

A viral species is a group of viruses that

has the same genetic information and ecological niche.

Viruses that utilize reverse transcriptase belong to the virus families

The virus is causing the death of the infected cells in the patient.

Some viruses, such as human herpesvirus 1, infect a cell without causing symptoms. These are called

latent viruses
