The nature of viruses Viruses contain one kind of nucleic acid (dNa or RNa genome) inside a protein shell (capsid), which may be surrounded by a lipid bilayer membrane(envelope). The resulting complete virus particle s called a virion Membrane Matrix prote Nucleocapsid Capsid (icosahedral) ource: Ryan K), Ray CG: Sherris Medical Microbiology, Sth Edition: Copyright o The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Virus classification http://www.ictvonline.org a virus species is a polythetic class of viruses that constitute a replicating lineage and occupy a particular ecological niche Apolythetic class is one whose members have several properties in common, although they do not necessarily all share a single common defining property. In other words, the members of a virus species are defined collectively by a consensus group of properties
