Virology
Virology is the study of viruses – submicroscopic, parasitic particles of genetic material present in a protein coat and virus-like agents. It focuses on the following aspects of viruses: their structure, classification and evolution, their ways to infect and exploit host cells for reproduction, their interaction with host organism physiology and immunity, the diseases they cause, the techniques to isolate and culture them, and their use in research and therapy. Virology is considered to be a subfield of microbiology or of medicine.
A part of virology is virus classification. Infections can be characterized by the host cell they infect: creature infections, plant infections, contagious infections, and bacteriophages (infections contaminating bacterium, which incorporate the most mind boggling infections). Another grouping utilizes the geometrical state of their capsid (frequently a helix or an icosahedron) or the infections structure (e.g. nearness or nonattendance of a lipid envelope). Infections go in size from around 30 nm to around 450 nm, which implies that the greater part of them cant be seen with light microscope. The shape and structure of infections has been examined by electron microscopy, NMR spectroscopy, and X-beam crystallography
