PPT-DNA VIRUSES

DNA Enveloped Viruses I Objectives In this lecture you will learn about properties pathogenesis clinical picture and diagnosis of Herpesviruses HHVs 1 to 8 Poxviruses Smallpox Virus. A. Viruses are a unique group of biological entities. 1. They are not capable of surviving without a host cell (lack metabolic machinery). 2. They do, however, contain all the information necessary to direct metabolic processes. Viruses Are Not Cells!. There are several structural and functional differences between cells and viruses. The structural differences include:. No nucleus. No cell membrane. No organelles. The functional differences include:. Chapter 18. Are Viruses Alive?. As a group discuss for 1 minute.
