A 22-year old man suddenly experienced
headache, myalgia, malaise, dry cough, and
fever. He basically felt “lousy”. After a couple
of days, he had a sore throat, his cough had
worsened, and he started to feel nauseated
and vomited. Several of his family members
had experienced similar symptoms during the
previous two weeks.

Characteristics:
• Influenza A, B and C the only members
• Enveloped virion; inactivated by detergents
• Segmented negative-sense RNA genome
with eight nucleocapsid segments
• Genetic instability responsible for annual
epidemics (mutation:drift) and periodic
pandemics (reassortment: shift)

Structure & Replication:
• Envelope with two group-specific glycoproteins:
1. Hemagglutinin (HA)
Functions:
a. Viral attachment protein – bind to sialic
acid on epithelial cell surface
receptors
b. Promotes fusion of the envelope to the
cell membrane
c. Hemagglutinates human, chicken and
guinea pig rbc
d. Elicits protective neutralizing antibody
response

Structure & Replication:
• Envelope with two group-specific glycoproteins:
2. Neuraminidase (NA)
With enzyme activity
Cleaves the sialic acid on glycoproteins,
including the cell receptor prevents
clumping & facilitates release of virus
from infected cells
Target for two antiviral drugs: zanamivir
(Relenza) and oseltamivir (Tamiflu)

Structure & Replication:
• Type-specific proteins: used to differentiate
among influenza A, B, and C viruses
1. Matrix protein (M1)
Viral structural protein
Interacts with nucleocapsid & envelope
promotes assembly
2. Membrane protein (M2)
Forms membrane channel
Facilitates uncoating & HA production
Target for amantadine
3. Nucleocapsid proteins (NP)

Structure & Replication:
• Transcribes and replicates its genome in the
target cell nucleus
• Assembles and buds from the plasma
membrane

![Page 8: Othomyxo and paramyxoviruses](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021918/58acbbaf1a28abd3048b480f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Pathogenesis & Immunity:
• Virus first targets & kills mucus-secreting, ciliated,
and other epithelial cells loss of primary
defense system
• Cleavage of sialic acid residues of mucus by NA
provide access to tissues
• Preferential release of the virus at the apical
surface of epithelial cells and into the lungs
promote cell-to-cell spread & transmission to other
hosts

Pathogenesis & Immunity:
• Spread to lower respiratory tract shedding of
bronchial or alveolar epithelium
• Promotes bacterial adhesion to the epithelial cells
pneumonia
• Histologic: inflammatory response of mucosal
membrane (primarily monocytes & lymphocytes)
with submucosal edema

![Page 10: Othomyxo and paramyxoviruses](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021918/58acbbaf1a28abd3048b480f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Pathogenesis & Immunity:
• Systemic symptoms due to the interferon and
lymphokine response to the virus
• Local symptoms due to epithelial cell damage
• Interferon & CMI responses (NK & T cell)
important for immune resolution and
immunopathogenesis classic symptoms
associated with interferon induction
• Antibody important for future protection against
infection

Why is influenza difficult to
control even when there is
vaccination available?

Antigenic Changes:
1. Antigenic drift
• Minor change
• Mutation of the HA and NA genes
• Occurs every 2 to 3 years
• Cause local outbreaks of influenza A & B
2. Antigenic shift
• Major change
• Result from re-assortment of genomes
among different strains, including animal
strains
• Associated with pandemics
• Occurs only with influenza A13

step
• Do not affect influenza B or C virus
Zanamivir (Relenza) & Oseltamivir (Tamiflu)
• Target: neuraminidase prevent release of
virus from infected cells
• Inhibit both influenza A and B
• Effective for prophylaxis and for treatment
during the first 24 to 48 hours after the
onset of influenza A illness

The best way to control the virus is through
IMMUNIZATION!
• Killed vaccine representing the “strains of the
year”
o Killed (formalin-inactivated) whole-virus
vaccine
o Detergent-treated virion preparations and
HA- and NA-containing detergent extracts
of virus
• Vaccination routinely recommended for the
elderly and people with chronic pulmonary or
heart disease.26

An 18-year old college freshman
complained of a cough, runny nose, and
conjunctivitis. The physician in the
campus health center noticed small
white lesions inside the patient’s mouth.
The next day, a confluent red rash
covered his face and neck.

A 13-month-old child had a runny nose,
mild cough, and low-grade fever for several
days. The cough got worse and sounded
like “barking.” The child made a wheezing
sound when agitated. The child appeared
well except for the cough. A lateral
radiograph of the neck showed a sub-
glottic narrowing.

Parainfluenza Viruses
Characteristics:
• Four serotypes
• Infection limited to upper respiratory tract
Upper respiratory tract disease most
common, but significant disease can occur
with lower respiratory tract infection
• Not systemic and do not cause viremia
• Infection induces protective immunity of short
duration
48
![Page 49: Othomyxo and paramyxoviruses](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021918/58acbbaf1a28abd3048b480f/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Parainfluenza Viruses
Four serologic types
• Types 1, 2, and 3
Second only to RSV as important causes of
severe lower respiratory tract infection in
infants and young children
Cause respiratory tract syndromes ranging
from a mild cold-like URTI to bronchiolitis to
pneumonia
Especially associated with croup
• Type 4
Mild upper respiratory tract infection in
children and adults
49
![Page 50: Othomyxo and paramyxoviruses](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021918/58acbbaf1a28abd3048b480f/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Parainfluenza Viruses
• Clinical:
• Main cause of croup in children < 5 y/o
• Characterized by harsh cough (“seal bark
cough” and hoarseness due to subglottal
swelling
• Other clinical conditions: common cold,
pharyngitis, otitis media, bronchitis, and
pneumonia
50
![Page 51: Othomyxo and paramyxoviruses](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021918/58acbbaf1a28abd3048b480f/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Respiratory Syncytial Virus
• Most important cause of pneumonia and
bronchiolitis in infants
• Fusion protein causes formation of
multinucleated giant cells syncytia
• Humans and chimpanzees are the natural
hosts
• Two serotypes – subgroup A and B
51
![Page 52: Othomyxo and paramyxoviruses](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021918/58acbbaf1a28abd3048b480f/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Respiratory Syncytial Virus
• MOT:1. Respiratory droplets
2. Direct contact of contaminated hands with the
nose or mouth
• Infection in infants more severe and usually
involves lower respiratory tract than in older
children and adults
• No viremia occurs
52
![Page 53: Othomyxo and paramyxoviruses](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021918/58acbbaf1a28abd3048b480f/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Respiratory Syncytial Virus
• Severe disease in infants with
immunopathogenic mechanismo Maternal antibody passed to infant react with
the virus form immune complexes damage
respiratory tract cells
• Most individuals with multiple infections indicate
incomplete immunity
• IgA respiratory antibody reduces the frequency of
infection as a person ages
53

Respiratory Syncytial Virus
• Clinical:
1. Bronchiolitis
2. Pneumonia
3. Otitis media in young children
4. Croup
5. Upper respiratory tract infection similar to
