The Journal of Virology & Antiviral Research (JVA) promotes rigorous research that makes a significant contribution in advancing knowledge for Microbiology and Medicine. The journal includes all major themes pertaining to viral diseases and treatment.

1. Virology & Antiviral Research

2. Virology
Virology is the analysis of viruses; submicroscopic, parasitic
contaminants of inherited content included in a proteins cover.
It concentrates on the following factors of viruses: their
framework, category and progress, their ways to contaminate
and manipulate variety tissues for duplication, their
connections with variety patient framework and resistance.
The illnesses they cause, the methods to separate and lifestyle
them, and their use in analysis and treatment.
Virology is regarded to be a sub-field of microbiology or of
medication.

3. A significant division of virology is malware category.
Malware can be categorized according to the variety
mobile they infect: creature viruses, place viruses, fungus
viruses, and bacteriophages.
Another category uses the geometric form of their capsid
or the virus's framework.
Malware variety in dimension from about 30nm to about
450nm, which indicates that most of them cannot be seen
with mild microscopes.
The form and framework of viruses has been analyzed by
electron microscopy, NMR spectroscopy and X-ray
crystallography.

5. The most useful and most commonly used category program
differentiates viruses according to the kind of nucleic acidity.
They use as inherited content and the popular duplication
technique they implement to talk variety tissues into generating
more viruses:
DNA viruses (divided into double-stranded DNA viruses and
single-stranded DNA viruses),
RNA viruses (divided into positive-sense single-stranded RNA
viruses, negative-sense single-stranded RNA viruses and the
much less typical double-stranded RNA viruses),
opposite transcription viruses (double-stranded reverse-
transcribing DNA viruses and single-stranded reverse-
transcribing RNA viruses such as retroviruses).

7. • Antiviral drugs are a class of medication used specifically for treating viral
infections.
• Like antibiotics for bacteria, specific antivirals are used for specific viruses.
• Unlike most antibiotics, antiviral drugs do not destroy their target pathogen;
instead they inhibit their development.
• Antiviral drugs are one class of anti-microbials, a larger group which also
includes antibiotic, anti-fungal and anti-parasitic drugs.
• They are relatively harmless to the host, and therefore can be used to treat
infections.
Antiviral Research

8. • They should be distinguished from viricides, which are not
medication but deactivate or destroy virus particles, either
inside or outside the body.
• Antivirals also can be found in essential oils of some herbs,
such as eucalyptus oil and its constituents.
• Most of the antiviral drugs now available are designed to help
deal with HIV, herpes viruses.
• The hepatitis B and C viruses, which can cause liver cancer,
and influenza A and B viruses.
• Researchers are working to extend the range of antivirals to
other families of pathogens.
