Viral disease

A viral infection (or viral disease, or infectious disease) occurs when a living thing's body is entered by disease-causing viruses. Virus particles, also called virions, attach to and enter cells in order to make more virus particles.

Structural characteristics

Virus species in the same family have many things in common, such as type, shape and infection method.
