Summary Introduction
To add:
The host range, latent and vaccines to the concept map.
Concept introduction:
Virus is an infectious small particle that can’t be seen with the naked eyes. They are made up of protein coat in which their genetic material reside that can be either double-stranded or single-stranded DNA or RNA. The replication of viruses takes place in five stages that are attachment, penetration, synthesis, assembly, and release.
