Brontok. Brontok is a computer worm [1] running on Microsoft Windows. It is able to disperse by e-mail. Variants include: The most affected countries were Russia, Vietnam and Brazil, followed by Spain, Mexico, Iran, Azerbaijan, India and the Philippines. [2]
Viral shedding. Viral shedding is the expulsion and release of virus progeny following successful reproduction during a host cell infection. Once replication has been completed and the host cell is exhausted of all resources in making viral progeny, the viruses may begin to leave the cell by several methods. [1]
Quaranjavirus. Thogotovirus. Orthomyxoviridae (from Ancient Greek ὀρθός (orthós) 'straight' and μύξα (mýxa) 'mucus') [1] is a family of negative-sense RNA viruses. It includes seven genera: Alphainfluenzavirus, Betainfluenzavirus, Gammainfluenzavirus, Deltainfluenzavirus, Isavirus, Thogotovirus, and Quaranjavirus.
A virus is a tiny infectious agent that reproduces inside the cells of living hosts. When infected, the host cell is forced to rapidly produce thousands of identical copies of the original virus. Unlike most living things, viruses do not have cells that divide; new viruses assemble in the infected host cell. But unlike simpler infectious agents ...

June: Starbucks is a virus that infects StarOffice and OpenOffice. Late September: Stration or Warezov worm first discovered. Development of Stuxnet is presumed to have been started between 2005 and 2006.
Sapovirus is a non-enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus about 7.7kb in size. The virus has a 3'-end poly (A) tail but not a 5' cap. Sapovirus has an icosahedral structure that contains 180 subunits (T=3). The diameter of the capsid is between 27 and 40 nm. [10]
ictv.global. The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) authorizes and organizes the taxonomic classification of and the nomenclature for viruses. [1][2][3] The ICTV develops a universal taxonomic scheme for viruses, and thus has the means to appropriately describe, name, and classify every virus taxon.
The term arbovirus is a portmanteau word (ar thropod- bo rne virus). [1] Tibovirus (ti ck- bo rne virus) is sometimes used to more specifically describe viruses transmitted by ticks, a superorder within the arthropods. [2] Arboviruses can affect both animals (including humans) and plants. [3] In humans, symptoms of arbovirus infection generally ...
