Viruses are tiny infectious agents found in all living creatures. ... Classification of viruses is based solely on the nature of this genetic material and their replication strategies. For example, there are two different types of DNA viruses: ds (or double stranded) and ss (or single stranded) DNA. ...
Although there are many similarities, ssDNA viruses are very different form dsDNA. ... ssDNA viruses reproduce with a replication form of DNA. ...
Type III, IV, and V viruses have RNA-based genomes. ... The genome of RNA viruses can be single or double stranded, and have one to many components in them.
The last classification of viruses is called “retroviruses.” These viruses (HIV being the most commonly known) use a longer than genome-length RNA intermediate that can enter into the nucleus and act as a DNA reverse transcriptase. ... #
Viruses have a unique way of surviving. ... Other more malicious viruses prefer to go out with a bang. ... The cell becomes so saturated with viruses that it lyses, or explodes, and releases new virus particles ready to infect other cells.#
Treating a viral infection can be a rather intricate process, as viruses replicate so quickly.
