50 nm – upper size for airborne virus particles; 50 nm – flying height of the head of a hard disk [78] 65 nm – the average half-pitch of a memory cell manufactured circa 2005–2006; 58 nm – height of a T7 bacteriophage; 90 nm – human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (generally, viruses range in size from 20 nm to 450 nm)
Structure of HIV, a lentivirus. The virions are enveloped viruses 80–100 nm in diameter. [6] They are spherical or pleomorphic, with capsid cores that mature to a cylindrical or conical shape. [6] [7] Projections of envelope make the surface appear rough, or tiny spikes (about 8 nm) may be dispersed evenly over the surface. [6]
Two types of HIV have been characterized: HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-1 is the virus that was initially discovered and termed both lymphadenopathy associated virus (LAV) and human T-lymphotropic virus 3 (HTLV-III). HIV-1 is more virulent and more infective than HIV-2, [20] and is the cause of the majority of HIV infections globally. The lower ...
The genome and proteins of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) have been the subject of extensive research since the discovery of the virus in 1983. [1] [2] "In the search for the causative agent, it was initially believed that the virus was a form of the Human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV), which was known at the time to affect the human immune system and cause certain leukemias.

Virus removal processes using nanofiltration techniques [4] remove viruses specifically by size exclusion. This type of process is typically used for parvoviruses [5] and other viruses containing a protein coat. A typical HIV virion is 180 nm and a typical parvovirus can vary between 15 and 24 nm, which is very small.
Nov. 26—Santa Fe veterinarians are keeping track of a mysterious canine respiratory virus that has weaved through several states, including Colorado, and taken the lives of some dogs along the way.
Adenovirus D26 structural model at atomic resolution [1]. Adenoviruses (members of the family Adenoviridae) are medium-sized (90–100 nm), nonenveloped (without an outer lipid bilayer) viruses with an icosahedral nucleocapsid containing a double-stranded DNA genome. [2]
