Structure of Viruses (With Diagram) | Botany

In this article we will discuss about the structure of viruses. 1. Viruses are much smaller than bacteria. A virus par­ticle is called virion. The virions vary widely in size. The smallest virus measures about 10 mm in diameter (e.g., foot-and-mouth disease virus). The largest virus, (e.g., poxvirus) measures about 250 nm, i.e., as large as the smallest bacteria or [...]

Virions: Morphology and Components | Virology

In this article we will discuss about the morphology and components of virions. Morphology of Virions: The knowledge about the structure of virions could be gathered mainly by electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction studies. The application of these physical techniques combined with the chemical analyses of the viruses revealed the architectural details of the virions. Viruses are among the smallest [...]
