Introduction to Virology
A virus is an obligate intracellular parasite containing genetic material surrounded by protein
Virus particles can only be observed by an electron microscope

Introduction to Virology
The classification of viruses is based on the type of nucleic acid contained withinRNA viruses---also known as a retrovirusDNA viruses

Introduction to Virology
Recognizing the shape, size, and structure of different viruses is critical to the study of diseaseViruses have an inner core of nucleic acid
surrounded by protein coat known as an envelope
Most viruses range in sizes from 20 – 250 nanometers

Introduction to Virology
ReplicationViruses replicate within a host cell while
utilizing the host cell’s nucleic acids.
