| 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. | ||
| dead or weakened pathogens that are injected into the body to cause the production of antibodies that will prevent disease |
