Across
  1. 4. specific virus when transmitted to newborns and can lead to developmental problems, organ damage and death.
  2. 7. transcription the process of transcribing RNA into DNA instead of DNA into RNA.
  3. 8. spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease)
  4. 10. a protein coat that surrounds the genetic material
  5. 13. parasites that are dependent on the host, must be in a cell that they want to infect
  6. 14. a rash(raised flat-top rash) with scarring.
  7. 20. a virus that uses only the lytic cycle
  8. 21. chickenpox and shingles.
  9. 22. shift is a major change when 2 or more different virus strains infect the same cell and exchange genetic material, creating a new subtype.
  10. 23. an infection in the blood, usually by bacteria.
  11. 24. when a virus leaves its host and takes some of the host’s DNA with it. When the phage infects a new host, the new host now has viral and the previous host’s genome.
  12. 26. are disease transmitted by animals.
  13. 28. when the virus reproduces then leaves via lysis of the host cell.
  14. 30. Medical term for, "you have it forever."
  15. 31. in sheep or goat.
  16. 32. is typically transmitted via inhalation of mice feces containing the virus.
  17. 33. abnormal clumps of protein fragments
  18. 34. are transmitted via respiratory droplets.
  19. 35. an infection you get when your immune system has been suppressed or decreased due to a primary infection.
  20. 36. are infectious, self-replicating proteins that cause a mammalian brain disease called spongiform encephalopathy. (holes in the brain)
Down
  1. 1. caused by an autosomal dominant gene. Prion linked disease
  2. 2. laughing disease from eating prions
  3. 3. phages are a bacteriophage that can enter into a lysogenic relationship with its host
  4. 5. when you can’t drink even when thirsty
  5. 6. (eukaryote) OR Prophage (bacteria) is a genetic material of a virus incorporates and replicates with the genome of a host cell
  6. 7. are use reverse transcriptase to copy their RNA genome into DNA (HIV)
  7. 9. small pox.
  8. 11. is a phospholipid membrane surrounding the capsid.
  9. 12. an infectious particle consisting of genes packaged in a protein coat (sometimes a membranous envelope)
  10. 15. Medical term for, "it will go away."
  11. 16. transcriptase an enzyme that transcribes their RNA into a DNA.
  12. 17. bacteria viruses
  13. 18. when the virus stays in the cell and is inactive indefinitely.
  14. 19. prion linked disease
  15. 25. the chickenpox virus is reactivated later and is very painful
  16. 27. an infection that occurs in a weakened immune system.
  17. 29. a substance, foreign to the body, that triggers an immune response, such as the production of antibodies.
  18. 31. (glycoproteins) on the envelope or capsid. It is the spikes that help viruses attached to the host cell.
