Concepts Used:
Viruses and Subviral Particles
- Viruses are not the only submicroscopic bodies capable of causing disorders within cells.
- Sub-viral particles are infectious agents that bear a resemblance to viruses in structure and composition. But they are notably smaller and simpler than viruses but lack either nucleic acid or protein and are thus not viruses. (Thus they may be proteins beyond nucleic acids or only nucleic acids beyond protein coat /capsid.)
- There are 3 sub-viral agents.
