Summary Introduction
Introduction: Virus is a small organism with a size of 20 to 300 nm variability. Structurally virus contains limited parts. The presence of the host is not mandatory for the survival of the virus. During the absence of the host, the virus suppresses their activities and acts as a non-living organism. Thus, the virus is known as the connecting link between the living and non-living organisms.
