How big is the HIV virus?

Answer 1

Ebola is the common term for a group of viruses belonging to genus Ebolavirus (EBOV), which is a part of the family Filoviridae, and for the disease that they cause, Ebola hemorrhagic fever.

The viruses are characterized by long filaments. Virions are generally 80 nm in diameter. They are of variable length, typically around 1000 nm, but may be up to 1400 nm long. In the center of the virion is a structure called nucleocapsid, it has a diameter of 40-50 nm and contains a central channel of 20-30 nm in diameter.

Answer 2

Electron micrographs of members of genus Ebolavirus show them to have the characteristic thread-like structure of a filovirus.[7] EBOV VP30 is around 288 amino acids long.[7] The virions are tubular in general form but variable in overall shape and may appear as the classic shepherd's crook or eyebolt, as a U or a 6, or coiled, circular, or branched. However, laboratory purification techniques such as centrifugation may contribute to some of these.[7] Virions are generally 80 nm in diameter.[7] They are of variable length, typically around 1000 nm, but may be up to 1400 nm long. In the center of the virion is a structure called nucleocapsid, which is formed by the helically wound viral genomic RNA complexed with the proteins NP, VP35, VP30 and L. It has a diameter of 40-50 nm and contains a central channel of 20-30 nm in diameter. Virally encoded glycoprotein (GP) spikes 10 nm long and 10 nm apart are present on the outer viral envelope of the virion, which is derived from the host cell membrane. Between envelope and nucleocapsid, in the so-called matrix space, the viral proteins VP40 and VP24 are located..

Answer 3

It is about 288 amino acids long

Answer 4

Small in size big on effect

Answer 5

huge
