Structure of Rabies Viruses (With Diagram) | Microbiology

In this article we will discuss about the structure of rabies viruses (explained with diagram). Rhabdo-viruses have a unique bullet-shaped appearance measuring about 180 × 75 nm. They have an envelope with prominent spikes on surface but not very variable in appearance. Spikes are made up of G protein that haem-agglutinate RBCs. The envelope is lined by the matrix protein [...]

Replication of Adenoviruses | Microbiology

In this article we will discuss about the replication of adenoviruses. Adenovirus replicates inside the nucleus (Fig. 17.9). By the DNA replication process, the adenovirus multiplication cycle is separated into two phases i.e., an early phase and a late phase. In both phases a primary transcript is formed which is spliced to produce monocistronic mRNA which is compatible with the [...]
