Virus Structures Constrain Transmission Modes

This study investigates links between virus structures and routes of transmission. Viruses show a wide range of structures, and transmission of viruses between vertebrate hosts can take place by many routes. We compiled a database of 243 virus/host combinations, and report a statistical analysis doc...

description This study investigates links between virus structures and routes of transmission. Viruses show a wide range of structures, and transmission of viruses between vertebrate hosts can take place by many routes. We compiled a database of 243 virus/host combinations, and report a statistical analysis documenting associations between structures and routes of transmission—for example, viruses that are transmitted by the fecal-oral route are rarely enclosed in a lipid envelope.
