VIRUSES

Several RNA-containing viruses are discussed, including Rhabdovirus, Hantavirus, Arenavirus, and Flavivirus. These viruses cause serious diseases such as viral encephalitis, rabies, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, and lymphocytic choriomeningitis.

VIRUSES

VIRUSES

RNA containing viruses

Coronavirus
COVID-19

respiratory syndrome

resembles SARS

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome(MERS)

transmitted to humans by infected camels

epidemic in the middle eastern countries

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)

transmitted to humans by bats

pandemic

Rhabdovirus

Viral encephalitis

They weren’t infecting humans initially only animals until AIDS

Human breast cancer

Human T-cell leukemia

sarcoma

lymphoma

leukemia

Reovirus (Rotavirus)
Can also be found on Cruise ship and they cause minor GI disorder
Includes human reovirus
Hantavirus
Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE)
transmitted by two mosquitoes

Culiseta morsitans

Culiseta melanura

Host: Horses
Discovered: Eastern part of United States

HA

altered mental status

paralysis

brain swelling

Deadly disease; death usually occurs within 10 days

referred to as a “bleeding out” type of disease
