Virology/Parasitology
| Indicator(s) | Cause/Organism(s) |
|---|---|
| Composed of capsomers | Viral Capsid |
| Capsid functions | Protect viral genome, receptors for naked viruses to initate infection, stimulate Ab production, site of antigenic determinants for serologic tests |
| Usually naked, icosahedral capsule, usually replicate in nucleus | DNA viruses |
| Usually enveloped, helical capsule,usually replicate in the cytoplasm | RNA viruses |
| Naked; Icosahedral; Linear, double-stranded DNA | Adenioviridae |
| Enveloped; Icosahedral; Linear, double-stranded DNA | Herpesviridae |
| Brick-shaped, enveloped; complex; DNA | Poxviridae |
| Naked; Icosahedral; Circular, double-stranded DNA | Papovaviridae |
| Enveloped; Icosahedral; Circular, double-stranded DNA | Hepadnaviridae |
| Naked; Icosahedral; Linear, single-stranded DNA | Parvoviridae |
