reoviridae (medicine) and vaccine, influenza (medicine)


reoviridae (medicine)


Reoviridae
<virology> Class III viruses, with a segmented double stranded RNA genome, there are about 8-10 segments each coding for a different polypeptide and only one strand of the RNA (minus strand) acts as template for mRNA (plus strand).

Icosahedral capsid and the virion includes all the enzymes needed to synthesise mRNA. The viruses originally included in this group do not seem to cause any disease in humans, though they have been isolated from the respiratory tract and gut of patients with a variety of diseases, the name is derived from Respiratory, Enteric, Orphan viruses.

Several pathogenic viruses are now classed as reoviruses including orbivirus, a tick borne virus that causes Colorado tick fever and rotavirus.

See Vaccine, flu. Vaccination, dtap: like dpt, dtap protects from diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough) and tetanus. Dtap is the same as dtp, except that it contains only acellular pertussis vaccine which is thought to cause fewer of the minor reactions associated with immunization and is also probably less likely to cause the more severe reactions occasionally seen following pertussis vaccination. Dtap is currently recommended only for the shots given at 18 months and 4-6 years of age. Vaccination, dt: dt (diphtheria and tetanus) vaccine does not protect from pertussis and is usually reserved for individuals who have had a significant adverse reaction to a dpt shot or who have a personal or family history of a seizure disorder or brain disease.
