Viruses can assume various shapes, including helical, icosahedral, spherical, and complex shapes. The shape of a virus is determined by its structure and composition of proteins that make up the viral capsid.
Helical viruses have a rod-like shape with a helical symmetry, such as the tobacco mosaic virus, while icosahedral viruses have a polyhedral shape made up of 20 equilateral triangular faces, like adenoviruses. Diseases caused by helical viruses include Ebola and influenza, while diseases caused by icosahedral viruses include the common cold and polio.
The shape of a virus that attacks bacteria is typically cylindrical or polyhedral. These viruses that infect bacteria are known as bacteriophages and come in various shapes and sizes.
Some viruses have circular DNA genomes while others have linear DNA genomes. The shape and structure of viral DNA can vary depending on the type of virus.
A bacillus does not refer to the shape of a virus. The capsid of a virus is what determines the shape of a virus.
Viruses can be classified based on their genetic material (DNA or RNA), their morphology (shape and structure), their host range (types of organisms they infect), and their mode of transmission (how they spread between hosts).

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.
The shape of viruses varies greatly. They can be shaped like small balls (spherical viruses) like strands of spaghetti (flexous viruses) rigid rods, like bullets (baciliform viruses) and like geometric shapes (isocohedral viruses) The smallest viruses can be as small as 20nm (20/1,000,000 of a mm) to as much as 2,000 nm for some flexous plant viruses.
For computer viruses, they have no physical shape, they are a string or program of codes that are made to effect files Regular viruses have a shape, but they are not needed as they dont effect what they do. Viruses just look like any bacterium, or in a spiderlike form.

answer the question porfavor?
Like all influenza viruses it has a roughly spherical shape.
size and shape
Substances that assume the shape of their container but do not have a definite size is water or any liquid substance.
No, viruses come in all shapes. Google T even viruses, adenoviruses, HIV and other retroviruses and see all the different shapes viruses can come in. Round capsids to space ship lander shaped capsids.
