Lymphocryptovirus
Description and Significance
Lymphocryptovirus is a virus that can affect primates and has an icosahedral capsid. This virus is also commonly known as Epstein-Barr virus. This virus can have long term effects on humans and can cause many other health problems in the future if infected by. There is no cure for this virus, but research has found that in later stages it is linked to cancer found in the lymphatic system. It is mostly spread through oral saliva or an infected object.
Genome Structure
This genome is linear, double-stranded DNA and approximately 170 kilobases in size. The genome is contained into a single chromosome which encodes over 80 genes. The genome sequence contains terminal repeats that facilitate circularization during latency, allowing it to persist as an episome within the host cell nucleus.
Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle
Interesting features of cell structure; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.
Ecology and Pathogenesis
Habitat; symbiosis; biogeochemical significance; contributions to environment.
If relevant, how does this organism cause disease? Human, animal, plant hosts? Virulence factors, as well as patient symptoms.
