Are Viruses Living or Non-living?
Viruses are both and neitherThey have some properties
of life but not othersFor example, viruses can be
killed, even crystallized like table saltHowever, they can’t
maintain a constant internal state (homeostasis).

What are Viruses?
A virus is a non-cellular particle made up of genetic material and protein that can invade living cells.

Discovery of VirusesBeijerinck
(1897) coined the Latin name “virus” meaning poison
He studied filtered plant juices & found they caused healthy plants to become sick

SmallpoxEdward Jenner
(1796) developed a smallpox vaccine using milder cowpox viruses
Deadly viruses are said to be virulent
Smallpox has been eradicated in the world today

PrionsPrions are
“infectious proteins” They are normal
body proteins that get converted into an alternate configuration by contact with other prion proteins
They have no DNA or RNA
The main protein involved in human and mammalian prion diseases is called “PrP”

5 Steps of Lytic Cycle
1. Attachment to the cell2. Penetration (injection) of
viral DNA or RNA3. Replication (Biosynthesis) of
new viral proteins and nucleic acids4. Assembly (Maturation) of
the new viruses 5. Release of the new viruses
into the environment (cell lyses)

They lyse (break open) the bacterial cell when replication is finished

Viral LatencySome viruses have the
ability to become dormant inside the cell
Called latent virusesThey may remain inactive
for long periods of time (years)
Later, they activate to produce new viruses in response to some external signal

Lysogenic Cycle
Viral DNA (part of prophage) may stay inactive in host cell for long periods of time
Replicated during each binary fission

Latency in EukaryotesSome eukaryotic
viruses remain dormant for many years in the nervous system tissues
Chickenpox (caused by the virus Varicella zoster) is a childhood infection
It can reappear later in life as shingles, a painful itching rash limited to small areas of the body
