picornaviroihin
Picornaviruses are a family of small, non-enveloped RNA viruses that infect a wide range of hosts, including humans, animals, and bacteria. The name "picornavirus" comes from "pico" meaning small, "rna" for their RNA genome, and "virus". They are characterized by their icosahedral capsid and a single-stranded positive-sense RNA genome. This genome typically encodes a single large polyprotein that is then cleaved into functional proteins by viral proteases.
This family includes many well-known pathogens. In humans, picornaviruses are responsible for a variety of illnesses,
Replication of picornaviruses occurs within the cytoplasm of host cells. The viral RNA acts directly as messenger
