  1. 2. These swabs are the most ideal swabs for detection of SARS-CoV-2 genome by RT-PCR
  2. 6. This vaccine preventable disease is also known as German measles or Three-day measles
  3. 10. This mRNA based coronavirus vaccine is licensed for use in Oman
  4. 11. The viral attachment proteins present in measles virus can also serve this function
  5. 13. These RNA viruses possessing segmented genome are classified under this subfamily
  6. 16. The S protein of Coronavirus binds to these receptors present on epithelial cells
  7. 17. This is one of the common clinical finding seen in babies in the first year of life following infection with Respiratory syncytial virus
  8. 18. The CAR receptor present in epithelial cells bind to these structural proteins present on Adenoviruses
  9. 20. Multinucleated giant cell formation in Respiratory syncytial virus infection is due to the presence of these viral proteins
  10. 22. These are the most common reservoirs for beta group of coronaviruses
  11. 23. These surface projections present in influenza virus play a key role in preventing the release of progeny viruses from the infected cell
  12. 24. This gland is most commonly affected by mumps virus

  1. 1. This paramyxovirus resembles Respiratory Syncytial virus in many aspects
  2. 3. Rhinoviruses can survive in the external environment (temperature) for longer period because they are ........
  3. 4. This condition characterized by bark like cough is caused by parainfluenza virus in school children
  4. 5. These whitish blue spots seen on the buccal mucosa are pathognomonic of Measles
  5. 7. This is the site where in type C adenoviruses persist in latent state for long periods
  6. 8. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome is caused by this virus
  7. 9. These chemical messengers have a major role in antiviral defense
  8. 12. This virus appears like a space vehicle because of distinct arrangement of various structural proteins namely pentons, hexons, and fibers
  9. 14. Subacute sclerosing pan encephalitis is a rare complication that occurs following infection with this virus
  10. 15. These inner structural proteins present in influenza virus are important for classification influenza viruses into types A, B, and C
  11. 19. This drug prevents the uncoating of influenza virus by blocking M2 channels
  12. 21. Major pandemics in influenza virus occur due to this phenomenon where in there is a emergence of new strain due to mixing of gene segments of two different strains
