Viruses can be classified based on various criteria, including their shape, genetic material, and replication strategy. Based on their shape, viruses can be categorized into three groups: spherical (or “icosahedral”), filamentous, or complex. Spherical viruses have a symmetrical shape with 20 triangular faces, while filamentous viruses are elongated and may have helical or rod-like structures. Complex viruses have unusual shapes and may have intricate tails or other appendages. Based on their genetic material, viruses can be classified as DNA viruses or RNA viruses. DNA viruses have a genome made of DNA, while RNA viruses use RNA. Some viruses may have a single-stranded genome while others have a double-stranded genome.
