This is where you'll find general information about viruses such as, what defines a virus? What's the history of their existence? How do they infect cells?
Human Defenses:
Here, you'll discover how our body fights these deadly viruses. What are our defenses against the hidden killers? (We have some pretty cool artillery in our bodies.)
Virus Profiles:
Not all viruses are created equal. Find out the special histories and more of specific viruses such as the hantavirus, influenza, or the smallpox. We profile each of them here for you.
Military:
Uh-oh. Viruses are nature's creation but humans want to use them for their own malicious deeds. They want to use them as weapons - bio-weapons.
