Characteristics To Viral Replication Flashcards
It is the protein coat of virus
Capsid
Genome and protein coat
Nucleocapsid
Entire virus particle
Virion
Enveloped virus are susceptible to inactivation by….
High temp
Extreme pH
Chemicals
Non enveloped virus are also known as
Naked virus
Of host origin and contain virus encoded proteins
Envelope
3 types of virion morphology
Helical
Icosahedral
Complex
Masks the shape of the virion
Envelope
A geometric shape with 20 triangular sides
Icosahedral
Largest virus
Poxvirus
Smallest human virus
Poliovirus
Virus are classified according to
Genome
Number of strands in genome
Morphology
Presence and absence of envelope
Term which means they must be inside a living cell to use the host cell machinery to replicate
Obligate intracellular parasite
Stages of viral replication
