Viruses are submicroscopic particles that don’t have their cellular machinery. The term virus was first used in the 1930s and these are obligatory intracellular parasites. Viruses are having only one form of genetic material which broadly categorizes them into two categories DNA viruses and RNA viruses. Viruses have a protein coat that will surround their genetic material. They need the support of other living systems for their survival and they don’t live independently. They can multiply themselves by producing specialized structures that will cause their multiplication in the living system of which they are part. The virus is termed as parasite and the occupied living system is termed as host.
