In this article we will discuss about the structure of adenoviruses (explained with diagram). All adenovirus particles are similar; particles are medium-sized, non-enveloped having 90-100 nm diameters (Fig. 17.5). The particles have icosahedral symmetry which can easily be visible in the electron microscope by negative staining. Viral particles are composed of 252 capsomers: 240 hexons […]

In this article we will discuss about the replication cycle of rabies viruses. The infection process is initiated with adsorption of virus on the host cell. Interaction takes place between spike G protein and specific cell surface receptors. It results in fusion of the rabies virus envelope with the host cell membrane. After adsorption, the […]

In this article we will discuss about the replication of adenoviruses. Adenovirus replicates inside the nucleus (Fig. 17.9). By the DNA replication process, the adenovirus multiplication cycle is separated into two phases i.e., an early phase and a late phase. In both phases a primary transcript is formed which is spliced to produce monocistronic mRNA […]
