Common terms and glossary of human body viruses are

Antiviral

A com­pound that inhibits the growth and repro­duc­tion of viruses

Antagonist

An agent that acts in phys­i­o­log­i­cal opposition

Capsid

The pro­tein in which abnor­mal cells divide uncon­trol­lably and destroy body tissue.

Capsomeres

Sub­struc­tures of virus par­ti­cles. Com­posed of aggre­gates of polypep­tides chains that inter­act to form the basic struc­tur­al unit of capsid.

Cloven hoof :

A cloven hoof, cleft hoof, divide hoof or split hoof is a hoof split into two toes. This is found on mem­bers of the mam­malian order Artio­dacty­la . Exam­ples of mam­mals that pos­sess this of hoof are cat­tle, deer, antelopes, gazelles, goats and sheep.

DNA

Deoxyri­bonu­cle­ic acid , the chem­i­cal struc­ture taht con­tains the genet­ic infor­ma­tion of an organ­ism. The dou­ble heli­cal struc­ture is. Made of two strands con­sist­ing of deoxyri­bose and phos­phate and is held togeth­er by bonds between purine and pyrim­i­dine bases which project inward from chains and form the genet­ic code.

Gene

A sequence of genet­ic mate­r­i­al taht pro­vides the infor­ma­tion to make a spe­cif­ic protein.

Genome:

The entire genet­ic infor­ma­tion of an organisms.

Hexamer :

Any of the clus­ters of six pro­tein sub­units ( cap­somer­ers ) in icosa­her­al virus capsids.

Envelope

A lipid cas­ing taht sur­rounds the cap­sid that cov­ers a virus . viral enve­lope assists the virus in infil­trat­ing the cells of the host organisms

Eukaryotes

Organ­isms whose cells piss­es a mem­brane bound struc­ture called a nucle­us taht con­tains the genet­ic mate­r­i­al (DNA)

Foot and Mouth Disease

Foot and mouth Dis­ease (FMD) is a high­ly con­ta­gious viral vesic­u­lar dis­ease of cloven hoofed animals 

Matrix protein

A type of pro­tein taht con­nects the com­po­nents of the viral enve­lope to the nucleus.

Neucleocapsids

The com­po­si­tion of a virus that includes the DNA , RNA and the cap­sids pro­tein cov­er.

Negative sense RNA

Neg­a­tive sense RNA viral RNA with a base sequence com­ple­men­tary to taht mes­sen­ger RNA (mRNA) . the RNA must be con­vert­ed to pos­i­tive sense RNA by a viral enzyme called RNA poly­merase before trans­la­tion into pro­tein can occur . Virus­es that have a neg­a­tive sense RNA genomes include influen­za and Ebola.

Neuraminidase

A pro­tein found on the sur­face of influen­za virus­es that is need­ed for the virus to exit the host cell and infect more cells. The action of this pro­tein is inhib­it­ed by the class of antivi­ral drugs include the drugs Tam­i­fu . in the sys­tem using for nam­ing influen­za , the N stands for neuraminidase.

Phage therapy

Phage ther­a­py or viral phage ther­a­py is the ther­a­peu­tic use of bac­te­rio­phage to treat path­o­gen­ic infections.

Polyhedron

A sol­id fig­ure with many plane faces , typ­i­cal­ly more than six

Positive sense RNA

Virak RNA that has the same base sequence as mRNA which allows it to func­tion as tem­plate for pro­tein syn­the­sis dur­ing viral replication.

Spike

Sur­face pro­jec­tion of vary­ing lengths spaced at reg­u­lar inter­vals on the viral enve­lope also called peplom­ers . con­sist of viral glycoprotein

Tobacco mosaic virus

Toba­co mosa­ic virus is a pos­i­tive sense sin­gle strand­ed RNA virus taht infects a wide range of plants espe­cial­ly tobac­co and oth­er mem­bers of the family.

Virions

A virus par­ti­cle , which invades the cells of a host organ­ism, caus­ing infection.

Vaccine

A prepra­tion of killed or weak­ened microor­gan­ism that is admin­is­tered to pro­duce or increase immu­ni­ty to a par­tic­u­lar disease.

Vesicles

Vesi­cles are small , flu­id filled sacs tht can appear on your skin

Virus like particles

A par­ti­cles assem­bled from mul­ti­ple copies of the cap­sids pro­tein that , like a virus can pro­duce an immune respons­es but unlike a virus is nor infec­tious because it does not con­tain genet­ic material
