Clasificación

Diagrama de flujo de la clasificación de virus de ARN

Identificación del virus de ARN:
Los virus se pueden clasificar de muchas formas. La mayoría de los virus, sin embargo, tendrán un genoma formado por ADN o ARN. Los virus del genoma de ARN pueden caracterizarse además por ARN monocatenario o bicatenario. Los virus “envueltos” están cubiertos por una fina capa de membrana celular (generalmente extraída de la célula huésped). Si la envoltura está ausente, los virus se denominan virus “desnudos”. Los virus con genomas monocatenarios son virus de “sentido positivo” si el genoma se emplea directamente como ARN mensajero (ARNm), que se traduce en proteínas. Los virus monocatenarios de “sentido negativo” emplean la ARN polimerasa dependiente de ARN, una enzima viral, para transcribir su genoma en ARN mensajero.
