6.1 Overview of Viruses
• Louis Pasteur postulated that rabies was
caused by a virus (1884)
• Ivanovski and Beijerinck showed a disease in
tobacco was caused by a virus (1890s)
• 1950s virology was a multifaceted discipline
– Viruses: noncellular particles with a definite
size, shape, and chemical composition
2
The Position of Viruses in the Biological
Spectrum
• There is no universal
agreement on how and
when viruses originated
• Viruses are considered
the most abundant
microbes on earth
• Viruses played a role in
the evolution of Bacteria,
Archaea, and Eukarya
• Viruses are obligate
intracellular parasites

Viral Components: Capsids, Nucleic Acids, and
Envelopes
• Viruses bear no resemblance to cells
– Lack protein-synthesizing machinery
• Viruses contain only the parts needed to invade
and control a host cell

The Generalized Structure of a Virus
• Capsids
– All viruses have capsids
(protein coats that
enclose and protect their
nucleic acid)
– The capsid together with
the nucleic acid is the
nucleocapsid
– Some viruses have an
external covering called
an envelope; those
lacking an envelope are
naked
– Each capsid is made of
identical protein subunits
called capsomers

• Viral envelope
– Mostly animal viruses
– Acquired when the
virus leaves the host
cell
– Exposed proteins on
the outside of the
envelope, called
spikes, are essential
for attachment of the
virus to the host cell

Functions of Capsid/Envelope
• Protects the nucleic acid
when the virus is outside
of the host cell
• Helps the virus bind to a
cell surface and assists
the penetration of the
viral DNA or RNA into a
suitable host cell

Complex Viruses: Atypical Viruses
• Complex viruses: atypical viruses
– Poxviruses lack a typical capsid and are covered by a
dense layer of lipoproteins
– Some bacteriophages have a polyhedral nucleocapsid

Nucleic Acids: At the Core of a Virus
• Viral genome – either DNA or RNA but never
both
• Carries genes necessary to invade host cell and
redirect cell’s activity to make new viruses
• Number of genes varies for each type of virus –
few to hundreds
13
Nucleic Acids: At the Core of a Virus
• DNA viruses
– Usually double stranded (ds) but may be single
stranded (ss)
– Circular or linear
• RNA viruses
– Usually single stranded, may be double stranded, may
be segmented into separate RNA pieces
– ssRNA genomes ready for immediate translation are
positive-sense RNA
– ssRNA genomes that must be converted into proper
form are negative-sense RNA
14
General Structure
• Pre-formed enzymes may be present
– Polymerases: DNA or RNA
– Replicases: copy RNA
– Reverse transcriptase: synthesis of DNA
from RNA (AIDS virus)
15
6.3 How Viruses Are Classified and Named
• Main criteria presently used are structure, chemical
composition, and genetic makeup
• Currently recognized: 3 orders, 63 families, and 263
genera of viruses
• Family name ends in -viridae, i.e.Herpesviridae
• Genus name ends in -virus, Simplexvirus
• Herpes simplex virus I (HSV-I)

6.4 Modes of Viral Multiplication
General phases in animal virus multiplication cycle:
1. Adsorption – binding of virus to specific molecules on
the host cell
2. Penetration – genome enters the host cell
3. Uncoating – the viral nucleic acid is released from the
capsid
4. Synthesis – viral components are produced
5. Assembly – new viral particles are constructed
6. Release – assembled viruses are released by
budding (exocytosis) or cell lysis
19
Figure 6.11 Animal Virus Multiplication
Penetration. The virus is engulfed
into a vesicle and its envelope is
Uncoated, thereby freeing the viral
RNA into the cell cytoplasm.
Synthesis: Replication and Protein Production.
Under the control of viral genes, the cell
synthesizes the basic components of new viruses:
RNA molecules, capsomers, spikes.
Assembly. Viral spike
proteins are inserted into the
cell membrane for the viral
envelope; nucleocapsid is
formed from RNA and
capsomers.
Release. Enveloped viruses bud off
of the membrane, carrying away an
envelope with the spikes. This
complete virus or virion is ready to
infect another cell.
20
Adsorption and Host Range
• Virus coincidentally collides with a susceptible host cell and
adsorbs specifically to receptor sites on the membrane
• Spectrum of cells a virus can infect – host range
– Hepatitis B: human liver cells
– Poliovirus: primate intestinal and nerve cells
– Rabies: various cells of many mammals

Penetration/Uncoating of Animal Viruses
• Flexible cell membrane is penetrated by the
whole virus or its nucleic acid by:
– Endocytosis: entire virus is engulfed and
enclosed in a vacuole or vesicle
– Fusion: envelope merges directly with
membrane resulting in nucleocapsid’s
entry into cytoplasm
22
Synthesis: Replication and Protein Production
• Varies depending on whether the virus is a
DNA or RNA virus
• DNA viruses generally are replicated and
assembled in the nucleus
• RNA viruses generally are replicated and
assembled in the cytoplasm
– Positive-sense (+) RNA contain the message for
translation
– Negative-sense (-) RNA must be converted into
positive-sense message
23
Release of Mature Viruses
• Assembled viruses leave the host
cell in one of two ways:
– Budding: exocytosis;
nucleocapsid binds to membrane
which pinches off and sheds the
viruses gradually; cell is not
immediately destroyed
– Lysis: nonenveloped and
complex viruses released when
cell dies and ruptures

Cytopathic effects - virusinduced damage to cells
1. Changes in size and shape
2. Cytoplasmic inclusion
bodies
3. Inclusion bodies
4. Cells fuse to form
multinucleated cells
5. Cell lysis

Persistent Infections
• Persistent infections - cell harbors the virus and
is not immediately lysed
• Can last weeks or host’s lifetime; several can
periodically reactivate – chronic latent state
– Measles virus – may remain hidden in brain cells for
many years
– Herpes simplex virus – cold sores and genital herpes
– Herpes zoster virus – chickenpox and shingles
26
Viral Damage
• Some animal viruses enter the host cell and
permanently alter its genetic material resulting in
cancer – transformation of the cell
• Transformed cells have an increased rate of
growth, alterations in chromosomes, and the
capacity to divide for indefinite time periods
resulting in tumors
• Mammalian viruses capable of initiating tumors
are called oncoviruses
– Papillomavirus: cervical cancer
– Epstein-Barr virus: Burkitt’s lymphoma
27
6.5 The Multiplication Cycle in Bacteriophages
• Bacteriophages – bacterial viruses (phages)
• Most widely studied are those that infect
Escherichia coli – complex structure, DNA
• Multiplication goes through similar stages as
animal viruses
• Only the nucleic acid enters the cytoplasm uncoating is not necessary
• Release is a result of cell lysis induced by
viral enzymes and accumulation of viruses lytic cycle
28
Steps in Phage Replication
1. Adsorption – binding of virus to specific
molecules on host cell
2. Penetration – genome enters host cell
3. Replication – viral components are produced
4. Assembly – viral components are assembled
5. Maturation – completion of viral formation
6. Lysis & Release – viruses leave the cell to
infect other cells

Lysogeny: The Silent Virus Infection
• Not all phages complete the lytic cycle
• Some DNA phages, called temperate phages, undergo
adsorption and penetration but don’t replicate
• The viral genome inserts into bacterial genome and
becomes an inactive prophage – the cell is not lysed
• Prophage is retained and copied during normal cell
division resulting in the transfer of temperate phage
genome to all host cell progeny – lysogeny
• Induction can occur resulting in activation of lysogenic
prophage followed by viral replication and cell lysis

33
Lysogeny
• Lysogeny results in the spread of the virus
without killing the host cell
• Phage genes in the bacterial chromosome can
cause the production of toxins or enzymes that
cause pathology – lysogenic conversion
– Corynebacterium diphtheriae: diphtheria
– Vibrio cholerae: cholera
– Clostridium botulinum: botulism
34
Medical Importance of Viruses
• Viruses are the most common cause of acute
infections
• Several billion viral infections per year
• Some viruses have high mortality rates
• Possible connection of viruses to chronic
afflictions of unknown cause
• Viruses are major participants in the earth’s
ecosystem

– Extremely resistant to usual sterilization
techniques
– Cause transmissible spongiform
encephalopathies – fatal neurodegenerative
diseases

• Scrapie in sheep
and goats
