For example, Porcine circovirus type 1 has a genome of 1,759 nucleotides [10] and a capsid diameter of 17 nm (1.7 × 10 −5 mm). [11] As a whole, the viral family geminiviridae is about 30 nm (3.0 × 10 −5 mm) in length. However, the two capsids making up the virus are fused; divided, the capsids would be 15 nm (1.5 × 10 −5 mm) in length ...
