Summary Introduction
Introduction:
All viruses use their genetic material either DNA or RNA to transmit viral components into host cells. Some viruses are classified on the basis of types of RNA they have. There are four types of RNA viruses: positive and negative single stranded RNA, double stranded RNA and retroviruses.
