Virology and Diseases Control

Animal Virology

Viruses are single-celled microorganisms that are smaller, simpler, and only contain one form of nucleic acid, either DNA or RNA, never both. Since viruses lack ribosomes, mitochondria, or any other organelles, they are totally reliant on their cellular hosts for the synthesis of proteins and the production of energy. They only carry out their replication within the host's cells. The necessity to control viral illnesses in humans and their pets has contributed significantly to the development of animal virology. Like other contagious substances, viruses enter an animal's body through one of its surfaces. To cause a systemic infection, they subsequently spread locally on one of the body's surfaces or through lymphatic and blood arteries.
