Pathogens: Good Parasites Gone Bad
•At the purely intellectual level there is little to differentiate a parasite that we tolerate or a symbiotic bacterium that aids our digestion from a pathogen that makes us deathly ill.
•For E. coli which normally populate our gut, there is a virulence plasmid that can transform it from a benign traveler to a serious pathogen.
•Some bad pathogens start as good parasites in one species and become bad when they enter another.

Pathogenic vs. Parasitic Forms of E. coli

There is a close relationship between HIV and SIV and it has been suggested that HIV moved to humans less than 100 years ago.
SIV is relatively benign in monkeys whereas HIV is lethal.

Pathogens Compromise Hosts in Different Ways
•Bacteria commonly colonize (kill) cells, secrete toxins, or damage extracellular spaces
•Viruses commonly only colonize (kill) cells since they have no life outside of cells

Elements of a Successful Pathogen
Success as a pathogen is defined as having your DNA preserved over time.
•Infectivity is important: need a good means of moving from one host to another
•Proliferation: need a good mechanism to increase copies of DNA once in host
•Immune or defense avoidance: most organisms have sophisticated defense mechanisms that stop pathogens and there are equally sophisticated ways parasites avoid them.

Virulence vs. Spread
In many cases, there is an inverse relationship between the virulence of a pathogen and the spread of the pathogen
Contagious Phase: inversely related to time until symptoms
Virulence (Severity of disease): Directly related to response to symptoms. Example of Flu vs. Ebola
Long Latency: A long latency with few symptoms can result in spread of the disease. Examples, AIDS, Herpes,

Immune Defenses Block Most Major Pathogens
Acquired Immunity Through Vaccines Has Blocked Pathogens

Viral Pathogenesis at the Cellular Level
Proliferation of Viruses involves several Basic Steps:
•Entry to the Cell
•Movement of DNA to Nucleus
•Expression of Viral Proteins
•Copy the viral genome
•Assemble new virions
•Release of active virions

Life Cycle of a Common Virus
![Page 10: Pathogens: Good Parasites Gone Bad At the purely intellectual level there is little to differentiate a parasite that we tolerate or a symbiotic bacterium](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56649f505503460f94c726c3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Virus Diversity
Many different viral mechanisms have developed for propagation of viral genomes. Viral shapes, sizes, genomes, methods of entry, proliferation, and release have a similar diversity.
Analyses of mechanisms of viral function have provided important windows into the function of the cells that they infect.

Evasion of the Immune System Occurs by Several Mechanisms
Incorporation of Cellular Proteins into the viral membrane
Mutation of the viral proteins can occur (reverse transcriptase has a high error frequency)
In the case of parasites, they purposely change the plasma membrane proteins.
