26 kwi 2021 · This review focuses on the life cycle of RUBV with emphasis on recent findings on the structures of the virus particle and its component proteins and on the mechanisms of virus entry, fusion, assembly, and budding.
Rubella virus contains three major structural polypeptides: two membrane glycoproteins, E1 and E2 and a single nonglycosylated RNA-associated capsid protein, C, within the virion. One of the envelope proteins, E1, is responsible for viral hemagglutination and neutralization.
1 sty 2006 · Molecular composition. Rubella virus (RV) is a member of the genus Rubivirus in the family of Togaviridae (Porterfield et al., 1978). It is a spherical particle of about 60–70 nm in diameter.
26 kwi 2021 · This review concentrates on recent work on RUBV, focusing on the virion, its structural components, and its entry, fusion, and assembly mechanisms. Important features of RUBV are compared with those of viruses from other families.
2 mar 2008 · This chapter summarizes the present medical significance of rubella virus. Rubella virus infection is systemic in nature and the accompanying symptoms are generally benign, the most pronounced being a mild rash of short duration. The most common complication of rubella virus infection is transient joint involvement such as polyarthralgia and ...
26 kwi 2021 · Rubella virus (RUBV), a rubivirus, is an airborne human pathogen that generally causes mild measles-like symptoms in children or adults. However, RUBV infection of pregnant women can result in miscarriage or congenital rubella syndrome (CRS), a collection of long-term birth defects, including incomplete organ development and mental retardation.
28 sie 2019 · Rubella or German measles is an infection caused by rubella virus (RV). Infection of children and adults is usually characterized by a mild exanthematous febrile illness. However, RV is a major cause of birth defects and fetal death following infection in pregnant women.
