[Acute viral infection].
Expression of neuronal diseases by acute viral infection concerns itself with the mechanisms of the virus-host neuronal cell interactions. The neuropathogenecity of a virus can be determined by the availability of specific host macromolecules in the neuronal cells for such virus and ability of virus-coded molecules to interact with those host macromolecules. Factors concerned with the neuropathogenecity may be a receptor, transcription or replication factor, or translation initiation factor and virus structural and non-structural proteins.
