Antiviral and Antimalarials

are obligate parasites composed of a nucleic acid core surrounded by a proteinaceous outer shell.

• Virus

• Malaria

As cellular parasites, they are dependent on the host cell for energy and the biochemical substrates required for replication and protein synthesis.

• Malaria

• Virus

possess only one type of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) and their organized structure is lost during replication of the genome in the host cell.

• Virus

• Malaria

do not grow through cell division, because they are acellular; instead, they use the machinery and metabolism of a host cell to produce multiple copies of themselves.

• Malaria

• Virus

It is an effect that virus can still cause degenerative effects within a cell without causing its death.

• Cytopathic effect

• Cytochtome effect

• Cytochrome effect

is a basic antibody that is present on B cells.

• Lymphocytes

• IgM

• IgM-1

is a biochemical technique used mainly in immunology to detect the presence of an antibody or an antigen in a sample.

• ELISA

• ELIZA

• ELLISA

is a technique widely used in molecular biology. It derives its name from one of its key components, a DNA polymerase used to multiply (i.e., replicate) a piece of DNA by in enzymatic multiplication.

• Polymerase chain reaction

• Polycyclic chain reaction

• Enzyme lingking isosorbent assay

is a specific binding between viral capsid proteins and specific receptors on the host cellular surface. This specificity determines the host range of a virus.

• Attachment

• Uncoating

• Release

Penetration: following attachment, virus,enter the host cell through receptor medicated endocytosis or membrane fusion.

• Entry

• Attachment

• Transcription
