Virology is the scientific discipline concerned with the study of the biology of viruses and viral diseases, including the distribution, biochemistry, physiology, molecular biology, ecology, evolution and clinical aspects of viruses.

Why is Virology important?
Firstly, the increasing importance of virology is clearly linked to the fact that we know more and more viruses, understand their links to certain diseases better, and that epidemiology looks at certain viral infections in new ways: all of a sudden we recognize viruses where we did not see them before.
How do virologists study viruses?
Methods to Study Viruses
With the development of gene cloning technologies, virologists are able to clone entire viral genomes, manipulate them in the laboratory (introduce specific mutations) and examine the effects on virus replication or disease.
What is Virus in virology?
A virus is an infectious, obligate intracellular parasite.
2. The genetic material of a virus is either DNA or RNA.
3. The genetic material of a virus enters a host cell and directs the production of the building blocks of new virus particles (called virions).
