Introduction to VirologyVIROLOGY

scientific study of viruses and the disease they cause

VIRUSES

an infective agent typically consists of nucleic acid in a protein coat

too small to be seen by light microscopy

multiply within living cells of host (obligate parasite)

filterableParungao-Balolong 2011-2012

Introduction to VirologyViruses challenge the way we define LIFE:

they do not respire

they do not display irritability

they do not move

they do not “grow”

WHAT THEY DO: they reproduce and adapt to new hosts

Parungao-Balolong 2011-2012Friday, June 17, 2011

Strategies for Survival

Genomes are packaged inside a particle (transmission)

Genome contains all information needed for infection cycle (attachment to release)

Establishment in a host population
