Bacteriophages
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria, playing key roles in bacterial ecology, horizontal gene transfer, and offering therapeutic alternatives to antibiotics.
Viral Pathogenesis
Viral pathogenesis is the process by which viruses cause disease in a host, encompassing entry, spread, tissue tropism, host damage, and immune evasion.
Viral Replication Cycle
The viral replication cycle describes the sequence of events from viral attachment to the release of progeny virions from the host cell.
Viral Structure and Classification
Viruses are submicroscopic infectious particles composed of genetic material surrounded by a protein coat, classified by genome type and structure.
