Biology Notes on Retroviridae | Microbiology

The below mentioned article provides notes on retroviridae. The family Retroviridae falls under the Group VI (ssRNA-reverse transcribing viruses). The virions are enveloped, helical or isometric having two linear (+) sense ssRNA, reverse transcriptase and integrase. Examples are MLV [Murine leukemia virus and related virus e.g. Spumavirus (human foamy virus)], Lentivirus (human immunodeficiency virus or HIV), Visna virus, Deltaretrovints, Alpharetrovims. [...]

Structure of Influenza Viruses (With Diagram) | Microbiology

In this article we will discuss about the structure of influenza viruses (explained with diagram). Particles of influenza virus are highly pleomorphic, mostly spherical having 80-120 nm diameter. But it also occurs in other form like long filamentous particles (2,000 nm long, and 80-120 nm diameter). They have helical symmetry also. The outer surface of the viral particle consists of [...]
