    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_virus

    Orthopoxvirus particles. A DNA virus is a virus that has a genome made of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that is replicated by a DNA polymerase.They can be divided between those that have two strands of DNA in their genome, called double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses, and those that have one strand of DNA in their genome, called single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) viruses. dsDNA viruses primarily belong ...

    The Hepatitis D virus has not yet been assigned to a family, but is clearly distinct from the other families infecting humans. Viruses known to infect humans that have not been associated with disease: the family Anelloviridae and the genus Dependovirus. Both of these taxa are non-enveloped single-stranded DNA viruses.

  7. Adenoviridae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenoviridae

    In the laboratory, adenovirus can be identified with antigen detection, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), virus isolation and serology. Even if adenovirus is found to be present, it may not be the cause of any symptoms. Some immunocompromised individuals can shed the virus for weeks and show no symptoms. [39]

  8. Herpesviridae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herpesviridae

    Orthoherpesviridae, previously named and more widely known as Herpesviridae, is a large family of DNA viruses that cause infections and certain diseases in animals, including humans. [1] [2] [3] The members of this family are commonly known as herpesviruses.

  9. Shingles - Wikipedia

    Symptoms vary, and there is a significant overlap in symptoms with herpes-simplex symptoms. [ 122 ] Although DNA analysis techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be used to look for DNA of herpesviruses in spinal fluid or blood, the results may be negative, even in cases where other definitive symptoms exist.
