This virus' image, using an electron microscope, shows an inclusion which appears to be similar to a nucleus. (Viruses have strands of RNA or DNA but no nucleus.) That is where the "nuclear" originates from.

Polyhedral means that the virus has many sides. This is one of three shapes that viruses show.

It affects the Wattle Bag Worm, the Korean Gypsy Moth, and cabbage leaves.

What is the structure of a typical virus?

A virus is basically DNA or RNA (single- or double-stranded)surrounded by a protein capsule. Typically the protein coat, or capsid, of an individual virus particle, or virion, is composed of multiple copies of one or several types of protein subunits, or capsomeres. Some viruses contain enzymes, and some have an outer membranous envelope. Many viruses have striking geometrically regular shapes, with helical structure as in tobacco mosaic virus, polyhedral (often icosahedral) symmetry as in herpes virus, or more complex mixtures of arrangements as in large viruses, such as the pox viruses and the larger bacterial viruses, or bacteriophages . Certain viruses, such as bacteriophages, have complex protein tails. The inner viral genetic material -the nucleic acid- may be double stranded, with two complementary strands, or single stranded; it may be deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA). The nucleic acid specifies information for the synthesis of from a few to as many as 50 different proteins, depending on the type of virus.

What is structure viruses?

A virus has a protein coat called a capsid with either DNA or RNA inside. A virus can have one of three structures. These are: 1. Helical virus. A helical virus is rod- or thread-shaped. The virus that causes rabies is a helical virus. 2. Icosahedral virus. An icosahedral virus is spherically shaped. Viruses that cause poliomyelitis and herpes simplex are icosahedral viruses. 3. Polyhedral Cylindrical shapes: Tobacco mosaic virus Wheat streak virus Hepatitis C

What is the geometric shape does a virous prefer?

Viruses have different geometrical shapes, such as helical and polyhedral shapes. A particular polyhedral shape common to many viruses is a dodecahedron shape. This is a geometric shape that has 12 sides.
