Subtopics

• Antiviral drug [r]: A chemical that interfers with the replication cycle of viruses. ^[e]
• Bacteriophage [r]: A virus that infects bacteria; often called a phage. ^[e]
• Virus classification [r]: Naming and placing viruses into a taxonomic system. ^[e]
• Flavivirus [r]: A genus in the family Flaviviridae which includes Dengue fever, yellow fever, West Nile and other viruses. ^[e]
• Luc Montagnier [r]: French virologist (b. 18 August 1932) and joint recipient with Françoise Barré-Sinoussi and Harald zur Hausen of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, for their co-discovery of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). ^[e]

• Vaccination [r]: A preventative health measure that can confer immunity to an infectious disease, without requiring that the vaccinated individual actually contract the disease. ^[e]
• Vaccine [r]: "suspensions of killed or attenuated microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, or rickettsiae), antigenic proteins derived from them, or synthetic constructs, administered for the prevention, amelioration, or treatment of infectious and other diseases."(National Library of Medicine) ^[e]

• Virus (biology) [r]: A microscopic particle that can infect the cells of a biological organism and can reproduce only with the assistance of the cells it infects. ^[e]
• World Health Organization [r]: United Nations' agency for health, focussing on the control and prevention of diseases, and the support for international health programs. ^[e]
