Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus. Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV), is a negative-sense single-stranded, bullet-shaped RNA virus that is a member of the Rhabdoviridae family, and from the genus Novirhabdovirus. It causes the disease known as infectious hematopoietic necrosis in salmonid fish such as trout and salmon.
Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) is a double-stranded RNA virus from the family Birnaviridae, in the genus Aquabirnavirus. [1] Causing the highly infectious disease Infectious pancreatic necrosis, the virus primarily affects young salmonids resulting in high mortality, occasionally surpassing 90 percent in the early stages.

Brontok is a computer worm [1] running on Microsoft Windows. It is able to disperse by e-mail. Variants include: The most affected countried were Russia, Vietnam and Brazil, followed by Spain, Mexico, Iran, Azerbaijan, India and the Philippines. [2]
Virus latency (or viral latency) is the ability of a pathogenic virus to lie dormant ( latent) within a cell, denoted as the lysogenic part of the viral life cycle. [1] A latent viral infection is a type of persistent viral infection which is distinguished from a chronic viral infection. Latency is the phase in certain viruses' life cycles in ...
Late March: Brontok variant N was found in late March. Brontok was a mass-email worm and the origin for the worm was from Indonesia. June: Starbucks is a virus that infects StarOffice and OpenOffice. Late September: Stration or Warezov worm first discovered. Development of Stuxnet is presumed to have been started between 2005 and 2006. 2007
Molluscum contagiosum virus ( MCV) is a species of DNA poxvirus that causes the human skin infection molluscum contagiosum. [1] Molluscum contagiosum affects about 200,000 people a year, about 1% of all diagnosed skin diseases. Diagnosis is based on the size and shape of the skin lesions and can be confirmed with a biopsy, as the virus cannot ...
Sorghum red stripe virus. Sugarcane mosaic virus ( SCMV) is a plant pathogenic virus of the family Potyviridae. The virus was first noticed in Puerto Rico in 1916 and spread rapidly throughout the southern United States in the early 1920s. [2] SCMV is of great concern because of the high economic impact it has on sugarcane and maize .
The virus itself is referred to as Watermelon Mosaic Virus II or WMV-2 and is an isolate of the U.S. WMV-2 is a ssRNA positive strand virus that is part of the Potyviridae or Potyvirus clade. Like all RNA viruses, it contains a protein capsid which protects the inner viral RNA. [3] First described on squash in Florida, WMV arose from a unique ...
