Virology and Pathology

The study of viruses and infection-like entities, including their taxonomy, disease-causing qualities, development, and genetics, is referred to as virology. It is included in the field of microbiology.  A virion is a single viral molecule that contains a variety of properties wrapped inside a protective protein shell called a capsid. The study of diseases is termed as pathology.  It supports many aspects of patient care, from screening procedures and preventing disease. In pathology, doctors and researchers are experts in illness and disease.
