  2. Mimivirus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimivirus

    Mimivirus, short for "mimicking microbe", is so called to reflect its large size and apparent Gram-staining properties. [5] Mimivirus has a large and complex genome compared with most other viruses. Until 2013, when a larger virus Pandoravirus was described, it had the largest capsid diameter of all known viruses. [6]

  3. Poliovirus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poliovirus

    Virus is shed in the feces of infected individuals. In 95% of cases only a primary, transient presence of viremia (virus in the bloodstream) occurs, and the poliovirus infection is asymptomatic. In about 5% of cases, the virus spreads and replicates in other sites such as brown fat, reticuloendothelial tissue, and muscle.

  4. Phi X 174 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phi_X_174

    The phi X 174 (or ΦX174) bacteriophage is a single-stranded DNA virus that infects Escherichia coli. This virus was isolated in 1935 by Nicolas Bulgakov [1] in Félix d'Hérelle's laboratory at the Pasteur Institute, from samples collected in Paris sewers. Its characterization and the study of its replication mechanism were carried out from ...

  5. Capsid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsid

    Influenza A viruses differ by comprising multiple ribonucleoproteins, the viral NP protein organizes the RNA into a helical structure. The size is also different; the tobacco mosaic virus has a 16.33 protein subunits per helical turn, [22] while the influenza A virus has a 28 amino acid tail loop. [25]

  6. Virus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virus

    A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism. [1] Viruses infect all life forms, from animals and plants to microorganisms, including bacteria and archaea. [2] [3] Viruses are found in almost every ecosystem on Earth and are the most numerous type of biological entity.

  7. Giant virus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_virus

    The viruses have large, double-stranded DNA genomes (300 to >1000 kilobasepairs) that encode a large contingent of genes (of the order of 1000 genes). [ 3 ] [ 5 ] The best characterized giant viruses are the phylogenetically related mimivirus and megavirus , which belong to the family Mimiviridae (aka Megaviridae ), and are distinguished by ...
