Double stranded DNA without envelope some examples include Papillomavirus and Reovirus

Animal viruses have diversity in their genetic material it is not always double-stranded DNA due to this genetic didiversityt makes it harder to understand viruses and how we can specifically treat and target them without harming the host. Animal viruses are classified into 7 distinctions:

- Enveloped dsDNA
- Naked dsDNA
- Naked ssDNA
- Naked dsRNA
-  Naked +ssRNA
- Enveloped +ssRNA
- Enveloped -ssRNA

Microbiology covers the scope and sequence requirements for a single-semester microbiology course for non-majors. The book presents the core concepts of microbiology with a focus on applications for careers in allied health. The pedagogical features of the text make the material interesting and accessible while maintaining the career-application focus and scientific rigor inherent in the subject matter. Microbiology’s art program enhances students’ understanding of concepts through clear and effective illustrations, diagrams, and photographs.

Microbiology is produced through a collaborative publishing agreement between OpenStax and the American Society for Microbiology Press. The book aligns with the curriculum guidelines of the American Society for Microbiology.

OpenStax Microbiology Textbook

Double stranded DNA with a lipid layer in the capsid some examples include Simplexvirus and Parapoxvirus

Enveloped dsDNA

Naked dsDNA

Single-stranded DNA without envelope some examples include Adeno-associated dependoparvovirus A and B

Naked ssDNA

Double stranded RNA without envelope some examples include Rotavirus.

Naked dsRNA

Single stranded non-enveloped RNA that can be directly translated in to proteins some examples include Rhinovirus, Hepatovirus

Naked +ssRNA

Single stranded enveloped RNA that can be directly translated in to proteins some examples include Alphavirus, Rubivirus, Lentivirus.

Enveloped +ssRNA

Single stranded RNA that cannot translate RNA into proteins directly must have an antigenome for replication some examples include Influenzavirus A, B, C, Zaire Ebolavirus

 Enveloped -ssRNA

Lytic animal viruses follow similar infection stages to bacteriophages: attachment, penetration, biosynthesis, maturation, and release But the mechanisms of penetration, nucleic-acid biosynthesis, and release differ from bacterial viruses in that animal viruses enter through endocytosis, and utilize tissue tropism
