Rhabdovirus replicationReplication of rhabdoviruses: a simple enveloped (-) RNA virus. 1, Rhabdoviruses bind to the cell surface and are (2) endocytosed. The envelope fuses with the endosome vesicle membrane to deliver the nucleocapsid to the cytoplasm. The virion must carry a polymerase, which (3) produces five individual messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and a full-length (+) RNA template. 4, Proteins are translated from the mRNAs, including one glycoprotein (G), which is co-translationally glycosylated in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), processed in the Golgi apparatus, and delivered to the cell membrane. 5, The genome is replicated from the (+) RNA template, and N, L, and NS proteins associate with the genome to form the nucleocapsid. 6, The matrix protein associates with the G protein-modified membrane, which is followed by assembly of the nucleocapsid. 7, The virus buds from the cell in a bullet-shaped virion.

• Wash wound with soap• Inject human antirabies IgG into wound• Vaccination on days 0, 3, 7, 28 post exposure• Determine if animal is rabid

Rabies summary
• Structure– Negative sense ssRNA, helical nucleocapsid, envelope
• Pathogenesis– Transmitted by bite of rabid animal– Replication in cytoplasm; budding– Spread by axonal transport to brain; long incubation period– Fever, nausea, hydrophobia, coma– Almost always fatal
• Diagnosis– Viral antigen or nucleic acid, Negri bodies
• Treatment/prevention– Inactivated viral vaccine for humans after exposure, live virus
vaccine for animals

Rotavirus structure
Genome Segments: Shows PAGE separation of the 11 segments of the rotavirus SA11 genome. Encoded proteins: Shows the PAGE separation of the intracellular proteins synthesized by SA11 and the genome segment in which they are encoded. Six structural (VP) and six nonstructural (NSP) proteins are synthesized in the infected cell. Note that NSP6 runs far below NSP5 and is not shown on the gel presented here. Viron Schematic: Shows the locations of the various structural proteins within the rotavirus virion. Note the arrangement of the proteins into 3 concentric capsid layers, and the location of the VP1/VP3 complexes at the 5-fold verticies of the icosahedral structure. Reconstruction: A 3D reconstruction of the SA11 virion (23Å resolution) with the genome computationally removed. The color scheme is the same as the schematic, to indicate locations of the various proteins. (http://www.iah.bbsrc.ac.uk/dsRNA_virus_proteins/rotavirus%20figure.htm)

Rotavirus pathogenesis• Transmission by fecal oral route; fomites
– 1012 particles/ml in stool; infection can result from 10 particles• Major cause of epidemic diarrhea in infants and young children• Highly infectious, 90% of children are seropositive by age 3• Incubation period less than 48 hr• Fever, vomiting, watery diarrhea dehydration
– No blood or leukocytes in stool– Virus replicates in epitheal cells of villi in small intestine– Damage to epithelium major cause of diarrhea– One virus gene product is an enterotoxin– Causes loss of electrolytes and prevents readsorption of water
• Self limiting; can be fatal in malnourished or dehydrated children• Long term immunity

Rotavirus vaccines
• First live vaccine (bovine and monkey viruses, 1999)– Withdrawn from market because of
intussusception
• New live, oral vaccine RotaTeq licensed Feb. 2006.– Contains five live reassortant viruses of human
and bovine origin
www.freelivedoctor.com
Rotavirus• Structure
– Naked double shell capsid– 11 segment double stranded RNA genome
• Pathogenesis– Fecal oral transmission– Replication in cytoplasm– Fever, vomiting, diarrhea in infants and young children – Incubation period less than 48 hr, highly infectious– Infection of intestinal epithelium causes loss of electrolytes and
prevents readsorption of water– Long term immunity; asymptomatic infection in adults
• Diagnosis– viral antigen detection
• Treatment/prevention– RotaTeq live, oral vaccine
