Viral disease

A viral infection (or viral disease, or infectious disease) occurs when a living thing's body is entered by disease-causing viruses. Virus particles, also called virions, attach to and enter cells in order to make more virus particles.[1]

Structural characteristics

Virus species in the same family have many things in common, such as type, shape and infection method.
