All About Viruses

All About Viruses
This would probably be the most common uttered word this 2020. But people have often misinterpreted and interchanged this word from other microorganisms. Let us delve deeper into their sub-microscopic world.

What is a Virus?

Viruses are the most common biological entity on earth. Presently they are considered one of the smallest of all microbes. A virus is made up of a core of genetic material, either RNA or DNA, surrounded by a protective coat called a “capsid”.


Viruses rely on the cells of other organisms, called hosts to survive and reproduce hence they are regarded as non-living. Outside a living cell, a virus wraps itself into a particle called a “virion” to temporarily survive until it comes into contact with a target host.

Different Virus and Their Hosts
Viruses are like predators with a specific prey they can recognize and infect. Many animals and even plants have their own viruses, some of which are:

  - Cats have Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV)
  - Dogs have Canine Parvo Virus (CPV)
  - Birds have Avian Polyoma Virus (APV)
  - Pigs have Swine Fever (ASF)


  - Bats have Corona virus.
  - Bacteria have Bacteriophages
  - People have HIV, HPV, Herpes, Flu, Hepatitis, Polio, now SARS-COV 2, and more.

Attack of the Viruses
A viral infection is a proliferation of harmful virus inside the body. Viruses infect a host by introducing their genetic material into the cells and hijacking our internal machinery to reproduce copies. Symptoms include:

   - Fever – low or high grade
   - Cough
   - Nausea and vomiting
   - Cramping
   - Diarrhea


   - Fatigue
   - Inflammation
   - Pain

Most of these symptoms are the body’s reaction and ways which our inherent immune system tries to get rid of the offending infectious organism.

Important Role of the Immune System

A number of different cells in the body work together within the immune pathway to fight infections and diseases.


Each type of cell plays an important role in identifying, marking, and destroying harmful organisms that enter or develop in the body.

The 3 lines of defense against foreign invaders are:
   - Chemical barriers
   - Non-specific resistance
   - Specific resistance
