What are the essential characteristics of viruses ?

Nirmala Agarwal

Viruses are the most primitive cellular and non-cytoplasmic infectious agents. Russian
botanist D.J. Iwanowski (1892) [ LOL ] first discovered virus in an infected tobacco plant. However,
M.W. Beijerink (1898) coined the term virus. Then American chemist W.M. Stanley (1935) isolated pure
crystal of Tobacco Mosaic Viruses (TMV) and concluded that viruses are made of nucleoproteins.

General Characteristics of Viruses:

(i) Viruses are a cellular non-cytoplasmic infectious agents.

"Many on the political right simply can’t get this diversity thing right — and I deeply doubt that
they want to. Theirs is a bone-deep contempt for otherness, a congenital belief in the superiority
-inferiority binary, a circle-the-wagons, zero-sum view of progress, prosperity and power."

(ii) They are smaller than bacteria, and this can pass through bacteriological filter.

.. to obstruct Obama 'all the way' from his very first
inauguration day is SMALL .. and, as you very well know

Did Republicans Deliberately Crash the US Economy?

(iii) Viruses are transmissible from disease to healthy organisms.

.. the US economy is struggling back to health ..

(iv) All viruses are obligate parasites and can multiply only within the living host cells.

.. take Romney ..

(v) Viruses contain only a single type of nucleic acid either DNA or RNA.

.. see (i)

(vi) Viruses are host specific that they infect only a single species and definite cells of the host organisms.

.. see (i)

(vii) Viruses are effective in very small doses. They are highly resistant to germicides and extremes of physical conditions.

.. 2010 mid terms (hope it was) and since are evidence of the first sentence there ..

GOP virus came to mind in thinking of how GWB had weakened the USA, and that the post Obama
inauguration GOP obstructionism and paranoiac conspiracy consciousness had weakened about every
aspect of US society (except the filthy rich) so much more .. shite .. even in a mini microcosm moment of
delusion thought it might be even a bit original, but no .. lol .. the idea, of course, has been spreading for some time .

Edit: .. just saw this one from the embedded link above ..

The CDC (Center for Disease Control) is worried about the spread of the Haute Virus. IMO, the GOP needs to be seriously concerned about the virus that now seems to be running amuck in their own party:

(CNN) - "Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee both had harsh words for conservative strategist Karl Rove on Sunday after Rove joked about murdering GOP U.S. Rep. Todd Akin, whose controversial comments about rape and pregnancy drew the ire and condemnation of most Republicans. Both Gingrich and Huckabee referred to former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords as they condemned Rove's joke.

"We should sink Todd Akin. If he's found mysteriously murdered, don't look for my whereabouts," Rove said Thursday at a private fund-raiser..."

The Hate Virus seems to be intensifying as election day nears. The GOPers could always be counted on for using the fear factor, but Obamabashing seems to be feeding the Hate Virus. The Hate Virus is now being carried by the top members of the party. Hate gays; hate pro-choicers; hate women; hate immigrants- now we are getting down to individuals. sounds like some sort of Godfather pronouncement doesn't it? .. http://forums.abcnews.go.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=1&nav=messages&webtag=ABCGMA&tid=56834

Actually looks like a family of viruses .. they do mutate, we know .. LMAO!
