Antigenic Shift- New Virus New viral subtype with genetic material and surface antigens which are a mix of the two parents
Antigenic Shift- New Viral Infectiousness Varies greatly- can increase, decrease, or no change
Antigenic Drift Alteration of the genome during replication
Antigenic Drift- Cause Immunity leads to selection pressure
Antigenic Drift- RNA Polymerases Have no proof reading and are very error prone, so RNA viruses undergo antigenic drift very often
Antigenic Drift- New Strains Causes new strains of the same virus to develope (i.e. In Influenza each year)
