All viruses are sharing a common feature that their genetic material DNA or RNA in packed in a protein coat capsid. Enveloped viruses may contain glycoproteins on their envelope (eg:HIV). Virus can not replicate or reproduce themselves, they need to infect their host and integrate their genome into the host for its replication.
