Chapter 4. Virus Cultivation; Outcomes of Infection Different viruses are capable of establishing infections resulting different outcomes for the host cell. Fill in the following table that examines the different outcomes of viral infections. Type of infection Acute (lytic) Persistent Latent Oncogenic Type of virus naked or enveloped) Viral genome RNA, DNA or retrovirus) Does the viral genome integrate into host? Immediate fate of infected cell
Three different viruses were cultivated from various tissue samples and the relative amount of virus produced in depicted in the graph below. Each virus caused a different type of infection. Identify the type of infection depicted by each line and explain your choice in the space below. 1. 2. Relative amount of virus in tissues 3. Time (months or years) 1. 2. 3.
