Viruses

Recall cards on viruses: their evolution, morphology, and classification (how viruses were discovered, their sizes and imaging, hypotheses for their origins, virion structure and capsid types, attachment and receptors, DNA versus RNA genomes, and the Baltimore classification groups); virus infections and hosts (the replication cycle, bacteriophage lytic and lysogenic cycles, animal and retrovirus replication, latency, viral release, acute, chronic, and asymptomatic infections, plant viruses and their transmission, and oncogenic viruses); prevention and treatment (vaccines, antiviral drugs, HIV therapy, and viruses and phages used in medicine); and other acellular entities (prions and viroids).
