The pH of most natural water is between 5–9. Enteric viruses are stable in these conditions. On the other hand, many enteric viruses are more stable at pH 3-5 than at pH 9 and 12. Enteroviruses can survive at pH 11–11.5 and 1–2, but for only short periods.
This category includes any viruses that can infect humans. Pages in this category should be moved to subcategories where applicable. This category may require frequent maintenance to avoid becoming too large.
The human virome is the total collection of viruses in and on the human body. [1] [2] [3] Viruses in the human body may infect both human cells and other microbes such as bacteria (as with bacteriophages). [4] Some viruses cause disease, while others may be asymptomatic.
Flavivirus is a single-stranded RNA virus transmitted especially by ticks and mosquitoes. [6] Pithoviridae are amoeba-infecting giant viruses possessing the largest viral particles known so far. [7] The genus name Alphapithovirus, a reference to large storage containers of ancient Greece known as pithoi, was chosen to describe the new species.
Viruses are small infectious agents that can only replicate inside the living cells of a host organism, because they need the replication machinery of the host to do so. [4] They can infect all types of life forms, from animals and plants to microorganisms, including bacteria and archaea. [5] When not inside a cell or in the process of ...
Echovirus is a polyphyletic group of viruses associated with enteric disease in humans. The name is derived from "enteric cytopathic human orphan virus".These viruses were originally not associated with disease, but many have since been identified as disease-causing agents.
Polyomaviridae is a family of viruses whose natural hosts are primarily mammals and birds. [1] [2] As of 2024, there are eight recognized genera. [3]Fourteen species are known to infect humans, while others, such as Simian Virus 40, have been identified in humans to a lesser extent.
An archaeal virus is a virus that infects and replicates in archaea, a domain of unicellular, prokaryotic organisms.Archaeal viruses, like their hosts, are found worldwide, including in extreme environments inhospitable to most life such as acidic hot springs, highly saline bodies of water, and at the bottom of the ocean.
