In this article we will discuss about the structure of influenza viruses (explained with diagram). Particles of influenza virus are highly pleomorphic, mostly spherical having 80-120 nm diameter. But it also occurs in other form like long filamentous particles (2,000 nm long, and 80-120 nm diameter). They have helical symmetry also. The outer surface of […]

In this article we will discuss about the structure of picornavirus. Each capsid is composed of 60 copies of four structural proteins of which each proto-meter consists of four polypeptides known as VP1, VP2, VP3 and PV4. VP1-VP3 are exposed on the virion surface, while VP4 lies buried in close association with the RNA core […]
