A localized tumor

An intracellular stage in the life cycle of chlamydias

An enveloped RNA virus that causes some forms of respiratory distress and hemorrhagic fever

A small, naked DNA Virus

The exit from the host cell of new virions, which usually kills the host cell

A culture in the form of a monolayer from dispersed cells and continuous cultures of cell suspensions

A long, spikelike molecule made of carbohydrate and protein that projects beyond the surface of a cell or viral envelope; some viral glycoproteins attach the virus to receptor sites onhost cells, while others aid fusion of viral and cellular membranes

A plaque counted on a bacterial lawn that gives only an approximate number of phages present, because a given plaque may have been due to more than one phage

Relating to a tumor that is cancerous

A small, naked RNA virus; different genera are responsible for polio, the common cold, and hepatitis

A virus that lacks an envelope

The ability of a virus to remain in host cells for long periods of time while retaining the ability to replicate

The uncontrollable divison of host cells caused by infection with a DNA tumor virus

(also called viral yield) The number of new virions released in the replication process

An infectious RNA particle, smaller than a virus and lacking a cuspid, that causes various plant diseases

One of three major groups of picornaviruses that can infect nerve and is responsible for causing hepatitis A

A uniform layer of bacteria growth on the agar surface in a Petri dish

A cancer-causing gene

DNA virus that is the largest and most complex of all viruses

An RNA strand made up of bases complementary to those of a positive (+) sense RNA

An infection typical of herpes viruses in which an infection in childhood that is brought under control later in life is reactivated

The ability of a prophage to prevent additional infections of the same cell by the same type of phage; also the conversion of a non-toxin-producing bacterium into a toxin-producing one by a temperate phage

A relatively large, enveloped DNA virus that can remain latent in host cells for long periods of time

Period of a bacteriophate growth curve that spans the time from penetration through biosynthesis

The time from absorption to release of phages (in the replication process)

Period during which viruses have absorbed to and penetrated host cells but cannot be detected in cells

Viral DNA that is incorporated into a host-cell chromosome

Cell culture consisting of cells that can be propagated over many generations

(plural: syncytia) A multinucleate mass in a cell culture, for example, caused by the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)

A uncontrolled division of cells, often caused by viral infection

An organism or virus that can live or multiply only inside a living host cell

Dominant cell type resulting from subculturing

A small, enveloped DNA virus with circular DNA; one such virus causes hepatitis B

A group of blood tests used to identify teratogenic diseases in pregnant women and newborn infants

A small enveloped (+) sense RNA virus that causes a variety of encephalitides, including yellow fever

A glycoprotein projection that extends to form the viral capsid or envelope and is used to attach to or fuse with host cells

The attachment of the virus to the host cell in the replication process

The process by which complete virions are assembled from newly synthesized components in the replication process

A small, enveloped RNa virus taht multiplies in many mammalian and arthropod cells

A medium-sized RNA virus that has a double-capsid with no envelope; causes upper respiratory and gastrointestinal infections in humans

A disease characterized by period of inactivity either before symptoms appear or between attacks

A filamentious virus that displays unusual variability in shape. Two filoviruses, the Ebola virus and the Marburg virus, have been associated with human disease

A medium-sized, enveloped RNA virus that varies in shape from spherical to filamentous and has an affinity for mucus

The entry of the virus (or its nucleic acid) into the host cell in the replication process

An animal virus capable of causing tremors

IgM found in the blood of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and their relatives

An organic chemical group attached to the central carbon atom in an amino acid

An RNA strand that encodes information for making proteins needed by a virus

The different types of organisms that a microbe can infect

The nucleic acid and capsid of a virus

The step of viral replication during which new nucleic acids and viral proteins are made

The series of steps of virus replication in a host cell

A suspension of cells that attach to plastic or glass surfaces as a sheet one cell layer thick

The genetic information in an organism or virus

Culture made from a single tissue, assuring a reasonably homogenous set of cultures in which to test the effects of a virus or to culture an organism

A small, naked DNA virus that causes both benign and malignant warts in humans; some types cause cervical cancer

A protein aggregate that makes up a viral capsid

A medium-sized, naked DNA virus that is highly resistant to chemical agents and often causes respiratory infectinos or diarrhea

A virus with a bilayer membrane outside its capsid

The protein coating of a virus, which protects the nucleic acid core from the environment and usually determines the shape of a virus

Refers to the specific types of cells within an organism that a virus can infect

A virus, such as bacteriophage or poxvirus, that has an envelope or specialized structures

A culture that comes directly from an animal and is not subcultured

A medium-sized, enveloped RNA virus that has an affinity for mucus
