Abstract excerpt
Although the origin of viruses has not yet been clarified, definite differences in evolutionary patterns have been found among RNA. Retro and DNA viruses. These differences are reflected in infectious diseases. RNA viruses, which have RNA in their genome, replicate many times over in cells within a short period of time, destroying the host cells and causing an acute infection. As the error frequency of RNA...
