Influenza Viruses 10. Reoviruses. 1. Papovaviruses: Papovaviruses are one of the four important dsDNA viruses (e.g. papovaviruses, adenoviruses, herpes viruses and pox viruses) which produce tumour in many animals. [...]
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 [...]
In this article we will discuss about the structure of herpesviruses (explained with diagram). All of them are morphologically identical. They are large with a varying diameter from 140-170 nm. The nucleocapsid is spherical icosahedral and of about 100 nm diameter which is enclosed in a 30 nm thick glycoprotein lipid envelope. Thickness of the envelope indicates for the presence [...]
