particle made up of nucleic acid, protein, and in some cases lipids that can replicate only by infecting living cells | ||
the outer covering of protein surrounding the nucleic acid of a virus | ||
a membrane that cloaks the capsid that in turn encloses a viral genome | ||
viruses that infect bacteria | ||
The limited range of host cells that each type of virus can infect and parasitize. | ||
a method of viral replication that results in the destruction of a host cell and the release of many new virus particles | ||
A phage that reproduces only by a lytic cycle. | ||
enzymes that cut dna at a specific sequence of nucleotides | ||
cycle in which a viral genome replicates as a provirus without destroying the host cell | ||
Phages that are capable of using either the lytic or lysogenic cycle. | ||
the viral DNA that is embedded in the host's DNA | ||
a special type of RNA virus that contains the enzyme reverse transcriptase | ||
a polymerase that catalyzes the formation of DNA using RNA as a template | ||
the virus that causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) | ||
a serious (often fatal) disease of the immune system transmitted through blood products especially by sexual contact or contaminated needles | ||
a widespread outbreak of an infectious disease | ||
an epidemic that is geographically widespread | ||
Infectious protein particles that do not have a genome. | ||
single-stranded circular RNA molecules that have no surrounding capsids and infect plants | ||
A pathogen is passed from one living organism to another living organism through respiratory droplets, blood, or other bodily fluid. | ||
The spread of a disease from mother to newborn. | ||
