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.
Structure. Rubella virus is a spherical, 40- to 80-nm, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus with spike-like, hemagglutinin-containing surface projections. An electron-dense 30 to 35 nm core is surrounded by a lipoprotein envelope.
Rubella is spread from person to person via airborne transmission or droplets shed from the respiratory secretions of infected persons. Rubella may be transmitted by persons with subclinical infection or asymptomatic cases (up to 50% of all rubella virus infections).

18 paź 2023 · Rubella Images. Warning: Some images are graphic. This library includes subject matter that might be unsuitable for children. Viewing discretion is advised. We have made these photos available for many vaccine-preventable diseases as an added resource to help you educate staff and patients about the importance of vaccination.
Rubella virus, computer illustration. Each virus particle consists of an RNA (ribonucleic acid) core, surrounded by a protein capsid and a lipoprotein envelope. Spikes in the envelope help the virus to attach to host cells. This virus causes the childhood disease german measles (rubella).
25 sty 2013 · Phylogenetic analysis confirmed genotype groupings originally based on structural protein coding region sequences, which provides support for the WHO nomenclature for genetic characterization of wild-type rubella viruses.
