Chapter 9, Problem 5Q
Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason for more susceptibility of enveloped viruses to disinfection, when they have an extra “layer”.
Introduction:
Disinfection process is used for the removal of pathogenic bacteria and microbes. Disinfection does not remove or kills all the microbial forms. It cannot remove/destroy microbial spores. For example, alcohol can kill pathogenic microbes. It can be applied only to inanimate objects and can reduce the numbers of bacteria and viruses.

Why are viruses with lipid-containing envelopes relatively susceptible to certain biocides?
Which of the following highly contagious viruses is a single-stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus with a helical capsid and envelope and is transmitted by coming in contact with respiratory secretions?
"This is a highly contagious respiratory illness transmitted when an infected person coughs or sneezes virus particles into the air," the health department said in a written statement. "It's so contagious that if one person is sick and spreading measles, nine out of 10 people around them who aren't immune will get it, too."
Group of answer choices
a. Measles
b. Parvovirus
c. Coxsackie virus A
d. Rhinovirus
The culture primarily contains nutrients such as sugars and a gel (agar). Why don’t viruses grow in a culture like bacteria do? Explain.

- In electron micrographs of HSV infection, it can be seen that the intact virus initially reacts with cell-surface proteoglycans, then with specific receptors. This is later followed by viral capsids docking with nuclear pores. Afterward, the capsids go from being full to being "empty." Which of the following statements best fits these observations? The viral envelope is not required for infectivity, since the envelope does not enter the nucleus. The viral envelope mediates entry into the cell, the capsid mediates entry into the nuclear membrane, and the genome is all that enters the nucleus. Only the genetic material of the virus is involved in the cell's infectivity, and is injected into the host cell like the genome of a phage. Viral capsids are needed for the cell to become infected; since the full capsids enter the nucleus.arrow_forwardWhy must viruses be metastable?arrow_forwardHow can a person acquire a viral infection?arrow_forward
