| Definitions |
An infectious agent which consists of two parts, genetic material and a protein coat. These organisms lack independent metabolism, and they must infect the cells of other types of organisms to reproduce. Most viruses are capable of passing through fine filters that retain bacteria, and are not visible through a light microscope. |

| ALT_DEFINITION |
Any infectious agent assigned to the superkingdom Virus. In medicine, a very simple microorganism that infects cells and may cause disease. Because viruses can multiply only inside infected cells, they are not considered to be alive. An infectious agent that comprises two parts: genetic material and a protein coat. These organisms lack independent metabolism, and they must infect the cells of other types of organisms to reproduce. |

| DesignNote |
Some viruses have a third component, a lipid envelope that surrounds the protein coat which can protect the virus particle from environmental exposure. The complete particle usually contains only DNA or RNA, not both, and is usually covered by a protein shell or capsid that protects the nucleic acid. They range in size from 15 um up to several hundred um. Classification of viruses depends upon characteristics of virions as well as upon mode of transmission, host range, symptomatology, and other factors. |
