Virus Modelling
eCL Bi11 - C19 - Virus Modelling
Create a Virus Model Include anatomy, genetic material & label parts. Explain if this is a DNA or RNA virus. Include the target (host). An explanation of the virus life cycle is needed. Include major diseases caused by the virus, economic / human. Is there a vaccine or treatment available? If none, how is the infection cycle minimized (ex. sanitation). Bonus 5pts —> If the virus is being used in modern research, as in the treatment of disease, include a summary.
