Compare and contrast the tobacco mosaic virus and Ebola- Both are RNA viruses- Tobacco mosaic virus contains ssRNA, which can
be directly translated into proteins by ribosomes- Ebola contains negative ssRNA, which needs to
be transcribed to produce mRNA before translation.

Describe the lysogenic pathway.1. Non-virulent viruses inject DNA into host cell DNA
as provirus. Viral DNA replicates when host cell divides
2. Virus produces repressor proteins to inhibit transcription
3. Latent virus enters lytic pathway when host cell is damaged or immune system weakens.

- Caused by human immunodeficiency virus- Spread by direct contact with infected body fluids e.g.
blood, semen, breast milk- Destroys white blood cells making the individual
immunodeficient and increasingly susceptible to other diseases. Leads to AIDS

How does HIV result in the symptoms of AIDS?1. Attachment proteins bind to complementary CD4
receptor on TH cells2. HIV particles replicate inside TH cells, killing or damaging
them3. AIDS develops when there are too few TH cells for the
immune system to function4. Individuals cannot destroy other pathogens and suffer
from secondary diseases/ infections. May cause deathhttps://bit.ly/pmt-cc https://bit.ly/pmt-cchttps://bit.ly/pmt-edu

Why is there an ‘evolutionary race’ between pathogens and their host?● Host defences are selection pressure for bacteria.
Random genetic mutations may enable bacteria to evade these defences
● Hosts with phylogenetic characteristics that reduce likelihood & symptoms of infection have a selective advantage

How do hospitals minimise the spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria?
● Screening and quarantine of affected patients● Hygiene code of practice e.g. alcohol-based
antibacterial gels● Antibiotics prescribed only when necessary and
course completed to minimise selection pressure
