1) Define primary viremia, secondary viremia, and incubation period. 2) Draw and describe a macule, papule, vesicle and pustule. Either use color in your drawing or indicate the color when appropriate. 3) Define latency, localized infection, slow infection and systemic infection, and give an example virus of each type of infection. 4) Compare and contrast what factors affect virus survival in the environment.
