Case-Based Questions
1. How could old samples of donated blood be screened to search for new viruses?
2. What information would be needed about this new virus in order to classify it, and how could researchers get that information?
3. How could the researchers isolate and grow a particular virus from Jimena's blood?
4. Assume the doctors determined the virus had an RNA genome. What kinds of antivirals would likely be prescribed to treat her infection? How would the drugs possibly work?
5. A small number of genes in the unnamed virus appear similar to hepatitis C virus. When doctors expose animals that had been injected with a hepatitis C vaccine to the unnamed virus, their blood shows a strong immune reaction to the unnamed virus (using a latex agglutination test). The blood of unvaccinated animals shows no reaction to the same test. What does this suggest about the shared genes?
6. The researchers discovered the new virus in six other people who had received transfusions around the same time as Jimena. The doctors monitored all the patients over a period of years. They found that viral titers remained very low in all, with only a small increase in only a few patients. What does this suggest about the infection?
7. Besides Jose, no one suspected to be infected with the unnamed Virus has died of cancer. Does this information rule out the possibility that this is an oncogenic virus? Why or why not?
