Virology is the scientific study of biological viruses. It is a subfield of microbiology that focuses on their detection, structure, classification and evolution, their methods of infection and exploitation of host cells for reproduction, their interaction with host organism physiology and immunity, the diseases they cause, the techniques to ...
Virology is often considered a subfield of microbiology or of medical science. virome viropexis The active uptake by a host cell of viral particles (typically bound to receptors on the cell surface) by a non-specific pinocytic process. [3] Viropexis is an important method of viral penetration of host cells. virophage viroplasm virostatic

As a result, 8,982 out of the current 11,273 species (80%) now have binomial names. The process will be concluded in 2023, with the remaining 2,291 species being renamed." [8] As of 2021, all levels of taxa except subrealm, subkingdom, and subclass are used.
The capsid of SV40, an icosahedral virus. Viruses are small infectious agents that can replicate only inside the living cells of an organism. Viruses infect all forms of life, including animals, plants, fungi, bacteria and archaea.
The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) authorizes and organizes the taxonomic classification of and the nomenclature for viruses. [1] [2] [3] The ICTV develops a universal taxonomic scheme for viruses, and thus has the means to appropriately describe, name, and classify every virus taxon.
