mikrovirukset
Mikrovirukset, also known as satellite viruses, are small, dependent viruses that require the presence of a helper virus to replicate. Unlike autonomous viruses, which can complete their life cycle independently, mikroviruses rely on the helper virus to provide essential proteins and other components necessary for their replication and assembly.
These viruses are typically composed of a single-stranded RNA genome, often ranging from 1 to 2 kilobases
Mikroviruses are commonly found in plants and are classified under the family *Mikroviridae*. They are known
The study of mikroviruses is important for understanding viral interactions and plant pathology. They serve as
Mikroviruses were first described in the 1970s, and since then, several species have been identified and characterized.
