Some viruses, particularly bacterial viruses, have very complicated structures and are called complex viruses. Examples of complex viruses are poxviruses, which do not contain clearly identifiable capsids but have several coats around the nucleic acid. Certain bacteriophages have capsids to which additional structures are attached.
