| Virus disease | | Classification and external resources | | MeSH | D014777 | These are tables of the clinically most important[1] viruses. A vast number of viruses cause infectious diseases, but these are the major ones. [edit] Structural characteristics Basic structural characteristics, such as genome type, virion shape and replication site, generally share the same features among virus species within the same family: [edit] Clinical characteristics The clinical characteristics of viruses may differ substantially among species within the same family: Comparison table of clinically important virus families and species | Family | Baltimore group | Important species[2] | envelopment[2] | Virion shape[2] | Replication site[2] | | Adenoviridae | dsDNA | adenovirus | non-enveloped | icosahedral | nucleus | | Picornaviridae | +ssRNA | coxsackievirus, hepatitis A virus, poliovirus | non-enveloped | icosahedral | | Herpesviridae | dsDNA | Herpes simplex, type 1, Herpes simplex, type 2, Varicella-zoster virus, Epstein-barr virus,Human cytomegalovirus, Human herpesvirus, type 7, Human herpesvirus, type 8 | enveloped | | nucleus | | Hepadnaviridae | dsDNA and ssDNA | Hepatitis B virus | enveloped | icosahedral | nucleus | | Flaviviridae | +ssRNA | Hepatitis C virus, yellow fever virus, dengue virus, West Nile virus, other Flaviviruses | enveloped | icosahedral | | Retroviridae | +ssRNA | Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) | enveloped | | Orthomyxoviridae | -ssRNA | Influenza virus | enveloped | spherical | nucleus[3] | | Paramyxoviridae | -ssRNA | Measles virus, Mumps virus, Parainfluenza virus, Respiratory syncytial virus,Human metapneumovirus | enveloped | spherical | | Papillomaviridae | dsDNA | Papillomavirus | non-enveloped | icosahedral | nucleus | | Rhabdoviridae | -ssRNA | Rabies virus | enveloped | helical, bullet shaped | | Togaviridae | +ssRNA | Rubella virus | enveloped | icosahedral | | Parvoviridae | ssDNA | Human bocavirus, Parvovirus B19 | enveloped | icosahedral | | | Type | Family | Transmission[2] | Diseases[2] | Treatment[2] | Prevention[2] | laboratory diagnosis[2] | | adenovirus | adenoviridae | - droplet contact (mainly)
