The Picornavirion: Structure and Assembly

  • Chapter
The Molecular Biology of Picornaviruses

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((NSSA,volume 23))

Abstract

The mammalian picornaviruses (from pico-small, and rna-containing a ribonucleate genome) comprise a large group of agents, which can presently be classified according to a scheme such as that shown in Table I.
