This intricate process involves the creation of something called virions, or infectious copies of the virus. Each virion consists of a protein shell that carries a total copy of the viral genetic code.
After virions form, they can spread to other cells and cause an infection in humans.Scientists, until now, didn’t know exactly what made viruses contagious, or how they “packaged” their genetic material.
