The document discusses the characteristics, replication, and effects of viruses. It covers their size, shape, composition, classification and infectivity. It describes the differences between phages and animal viruses, and between DNA and RNA viruses. It also addresses the cytopathology and organismal effects of viruses, as well as their role in oncogenesis and tumorigenesis.
Viruses are non-living particles that can only reproduce inside host cells. They are much smaller than bacteria and come in various shapes. Viruses cause diseases like smallpox, influenza, and AIDS. They enter cells and use the cell's machinery to replicate themselves before destroying the cell. While viruses cannot live outside of a host, they have developed ways to spread between hosts, such as through respiratory droplets or animal vectors. The best ways to prevent viral spread are vaccination, good hygiene like handwashing, and avoiding contact with infected bodily fluids.
Viruses are the smallest of all pathogens, ranging from 20-500 nanometers in size, consist of either DNA or RNA surrounded by a protein coat or capsule, and have characteristics of both living and non-living entities. They contain genetic material and can reproduce but only within a host cell by taking over the cell's machinery. Viruses cause infectious disease, come in different shapes, and have the ability to mutate or become dormant.
This document discusses the classification of different types of living organisms. It covers the six kingdoms of life - Archaea, Bacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. It describes key characteristics of bacteria, archaea, protists, fungi, plants, animals, and viruses. The classification systems are meant to group organisms based on similarities to better understand and study life forms.
Viruses are infectious agents that require a host cell to replicate. They contain either DNA or RNA, but not both, and use the host cell's machinery to produce new viral components. Newly assembled viruses bud from the host cell to infect others. Viruses have both living characteristics like reproduction and mutation, but lack cellular structures and metabolism of their own.
The document provides an introduction to a microbiology lecture, covering definitions of microbiology and microorganisms.

This document discusses RNA viruses. It describes how RNA viruses were discovered and studied using random sequence RNAs. RNA viruses have protein capsids that protect their RNA genomes. Their RNA can be directly used for protein synthesis upon entering a host cell. Retroviruses are a category of RNA virus that use reverse transcriptase to transcribe their RNA into DNA, which can then integrate into the host cell's genome. RNA viruses mutate frequently due to the lack of proofreading by RNA-dependent RNA polymerases during replication, with mutation rates estimated between 10-4 to 10-6 mutations per base pair per generation.
This document discusses DNA viruses and viral vectors. It begins by introducing viruses and their classification based on host, morphology, genome, and structures. It then describes the Baltimore classification system for viruses. Viral vectors are discussed as effective means of gene transfer that can be manipulated to express therapeutic genes. Several virus types being investigated for gene delivery are described, including retroviruses, adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses, and herpes simplex viruses. Key properties of viral vectors like safety, toxicity, stability, and cell specificity are outlined. Specific types of viral vectors - retroviral, lentiviral, adenoviral, adeno-associated viral, and herpes simplex viral vectors - are then characterized.
DNA viruses like poxviruses, herpesviruses, and hepatitis B viruses use DNA as their genetic material. Herpesviruses have larger virions and genomes than adenoviruses. They enter cells through fusion with the plasma membrane or endocytosis. During replication, herpesviruses use host enzymes to transcribe early genes that regulate expression of late genes for structural proteins. Virions assemble in the nucleus and acquire an envelope as they bud through the inner nuclear membrane. Viral genomes evolve through spontaneous or induced mutation during replication and by recombining genetic material within or between viruses through breaking and rejoining DNA or RNA.
Viruses have capsids made of protein subunits that enclose and protect their nucleic acid. Viruses come in two main shapes - helical or icosahedral - determined by the arrangement of capsomers in the capsid. Some viruses have an envelope in addition to the capsid.
Viral replication involves the virus binding to and entering a host cell, then using the cell's machinery to produce new viral components which are assembled and released to infect new cells. DNA and RNA viruses replicate via different mechanisms using virus-specific enzymes. Animal virus replication is more complex than bacterial viruses due to host cell complexity.
Growing viruses requires appropriate cell cultures or animal hosts that provide an environment where the virus can replicate
The document discusses different types of infectious agents including viruses, viroids, virusoids, and prions. It describes their structures and compositions.
