Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a widespread virus whose manifestations in immunocompromised patients with congenital CMV disease range from asymptomatic to severe end-organ dysfunction. Human cytomegalovirus is a member of the herpesviruses, Herpesviridae, or human herpesvirus-5 (HHV-5) family of viruses. Infections with the human cytomegalovirus are frequently associated with the salivary ducts. An infection with CMV may … Read more

Rotavirus is a family of double-stranded RNA viruses belonging to the genus Reoviridae. Rotaviruses are the leading cause of diarrhea in neonates and young children. By the age of five, nearly every child in the world has been infected with rotavirus at least once.Immunity develops with each infection, reducing the severity of subsequent infections. Rarely … Read more

Among the diseases associated with this genus is gastroenteritis, a condition typically observed in mammals.Torovirus is the only genus in the monotypic Torovirinae subfamily.Torovirus is a monotypic taxon with a … Read more

A virus is a form of microscopic infectious agent that can only replicate within the cells of a living organism. Viruses are capable of infecting all forms of life, including animals, vegetation, and even bacteria. They are comprised of a minute piece of genetic material, either DNA or RNA, encased in a protein shell known … Read more
