Abstract:
Although the study of viruses is vertiginous, the study of microorganisms, such as bacteria, is also dizzying. However, they are different, both in structure and in the way they form offspring, although both may be involved in the generation of infectious diseases, both in animals and in humans.
Viruses are viruses, sentence attributed to André Lwoff (Nobel Prize winner in 1965) denotes the, because although at first, they were considered similar to a poison or toxin, since they did not follow Koch's postulates, today we know much more about them and in particular how they form offspring, their taxonomy and how there is an international committee dedicated to their study and variations over time.
