Joro spider (Trichonephila clavata) Annual Progress Map Researchers are still learning about the spider species. Relatively little is known about their ecological or human-related impacts.
3D still showing rabies virus structure. Rhabdoviruses have helical symmetry, so their infectious particles are approximately cylindrical in shape. They are characterized by an extremely broad host spectrum ranging from plants [citation needed] to insects [citation needed] and mammals; human-infecting viruses more commonly have icosahedral symmetry and take shapes approximating regular polyhedra.
