The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) has established nomenclature rules for viruses. Which of the following would be considered a viral family name?
Rotavirus
Adenovirus
Poxviridae
Herpevirales
Which of the following highly contagious viruses is a single-stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus with a helical capsid and envelope and is transmitted by coming in contact with respiratory secretions?
"This is a highly contagious respiratory illness transmitted when an infected person coughs or sneezes virus particles into the air," the health department said in a written statement. "It's so contagious that if one person is sick and spreading measles, nine out of 10 people around them who aren't immune will get it, too."
Group of answer choices
a. Measles
b. Parvovirus
c. Coxsackie virus A
d. Rhinovirus
Viruses display all the characteristics of living organism but many scientists do not
consider viruses as living organisms because of their size.
