  2. 4. the more severe type of seasonal flu is caused by __________
  3. 8. disseminated __________ coagulation is a clotting disorder that has been seen in conjunction with COVID-19 infections, and can lead to complications such as stroke and heart attack
  4. 9. influenza A strains are named on the basis of their hemagglutinin (HA) and __________ (NA) properties, i.e. H1N1
  5. 10. this enveloped virus causes an acute, self-limiting disease characterized by parotitis, high fever, and fatigue
  6. 11. these enveloped viruses can cause respiratory diseases ranging from mild to severe and are named for the "crown-like" protein projections on their surface
  7. 12. the respiratory __________ virus commonly causes potentially-serious respiratory infections in children
  8. 14. a highly contagious virus that has an envelope and causes a disease characterized by a cough, sneezing, fever, and rash
  9. 16. viruses in this group are also spread via the fecal-oral route and can cause conditions such as meningitis, exanthems, and "summer flu"
  10. 17. an __________ is an illness outbreak on a more local scale
  11. 21. another name for measles
  12. 23. this process involves the acquisition of new viral genes, leading to major antigenic change usually associated with multi-strain viral co-infection

  2. 3. the human __________ is similar to RSV in that it causes respiratory illness primarily in children
  3. 5. this virus causes the common cold and is cultured at a reduced temperature
  4. 6. a __________ is an illness outbreak on a global scale
  5. 7. the medication that can be prophylactic treatment for children susceptible to RSV and RSV complications
  6. 13. it is speculated that coronaviruses are spread via direct contact (as with contaminated surfaces) and __________
  7. 15. a distinctive feature of a measles infection is the presence of __________'s spots in the mouth
  8. 18. inflamed salivary glands
  9. 19. this processes is the accumulation of minor genomic changes over time
