What is a virus? (Lecture 1)
Virology - Biology W3310 Vincent Racaniello, Ph.D. | Higgins Professor Department of Microbiology & Immunology Columbia University, New York.
Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Virology
The study of the structure, growth, function, genetics, and reproduction of viruses, and VIRUS DISEASES.
Microscopy, Immunoelectron
Microscopy in which the samples are first stained immunocytochemically and then examined using an electron microscope. Immunoelectron microscopy is used extensively in diagnostic virology as part of very sensitive immunoassays.
Focal Epithelial Hyperplasia
Hyperplasia of the mucous membrane of the lips, tongue, and less commonly, the buccal mucosa, floor of the mouth, and palate, presenting soft, painless, round to oval sessile papules about 1 to 4 mm in diameter. The condition usually occurs in children and young adults and has familial predilection, lasting for several months, sometimes years, before running its course. A viral etiology is suspected, the isolated organism being usually the human papillomavirus. (Jablonski, Illustrated Dictionary of Dentistry; Belshe, Textbook of Human Virology, 2d ed, p954)
