VIRUS
Virus
INTRODUCTION :
VIRUS: (PLURAL = VIRUSES) ARE NON-CELLULAR
MICRO-ORGANISMS, MADE UP OF A PROTEIN COAT
AND ONE TYPE OF NUCLEIC ACID (DNA OR RNA) -
OBLIGATE PARASITES = CAN ONLY MULTIPLY INSIDE
A LIVING CELL - CAUSE DISEASE.
ARE THEY LIVING OR NON-LIVING?
EXAMPLES OF DISEASES CAUSED BY VIRUSES ARE
INFLUENZA (FLU), HIV (CAUSES AIDS), CHICKEN POX,
MEASLES, MUMPS, RUBELLA.
Shapes :
Viruses are found in a number of different shapes e.g.
bacteriophage, etc.
Basic Structure of a Virus :
Consists of a nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) and a protein coat.
Some may have a membrane
coat outside of this, made
from the membrane of the
cell that was infected; with
virus proteins inserted into it
e.g. influenza.
The possible effects of a virus on
a cell :
Conditions caused by viruses :
 Foot & mouth
disease
 Distemper
 Myxomatosis
 Rabies
(hydrophobia)
 Common cold
 Measles
 Mumps
 Rubella = German
measles
 Smallpox
 Chickenpox
 Poliomyelitis = Polio
 Viral pneumonia
 Genital herpes
 AIDS
Industrial Importance Of Virus
1 – Virus in Medicine :
Viruses are being used as vectors or carriers that tae the
required material for treatment of a disease to various target cells.
They have been studied extensively in management of inherited
diseases and genetic engineering as well as cancers.
2 – Virus in Weapons :
Virus may be tiny but have the capacity to cause
death and devastation to large populations in epidemics and
pandemics . This has led to the concern that viruses could be
used for biological warfare.
3 – Virus In Agriculture :
Modification and genetic engineering methods can be used
to make modified genomes that can be carried into plants and
by viruses acting as vectors or vehicles . This method can lead to
productive transgenic animals and plants .
4 – In Controlling Harmful Animals And Insects :
Some animals and insects which are harmful for humans
cam be controlled by some special virus.
5 – Cancer Therapy :
Viruses can be directly used to prevent cancer by being. The
source of anti cancer viruses vaccines e.g vaccine against hepatitis B virus
( cause hepatic virus ) and human papiuomavirus ( cervical cancer )are
commercially available .
6 – Viruses In Nanotechnology :
Nanotechnology deals with microscopic particles .These have
various uses in biology and medicine and nanotechnology has been used
in genetic engineering .Viruses can be used as carriers for genetically
modified sequences of genomes to the host cells.
Thank
You
