Brontok originated in Indonesia. It was first discovered in 2005. The name refers to elang brontok, a bird species native to South & Southeast Asia. It arrives as an attachment of e-mail named kangen.exe (kangen itself means "to miss someone/thing"). The virus/email itself contains a message in Indonesian (and some English).
Paramyxoviridae. Paramyxoviridae (from Greek para- “by the side of” and myxa “ mucus ”) is a family of negative-strand RNA viruses in the order Mononegavirales. [ 1][ 2] Vertebrates serve as natural hosts. [ 3] Diseases associated with this family include measles, mumps, and respiratory tract infections. [ 4]
Website. 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.
Chordopoxvirinae. Genus: Orthopoxvirus. Species. See text. Orthopoxvirus is a genus of viruses in the family Poxviridae and subfamily Chordopoxvirinae. Vertebrates, including mammals and humans, and arthropods serve as natural hosts. There are 12 known species in this genus.
The virions are about 75 nm wide and 180 nm long. [ 2] Rhabdoviruses are enveloped and have helical nucleocapsids and their genomes are linear, around 11–15 kb in length. [ 5][ 2] Rhabdoviruses carry their genetic material in the form of negative-sense single-stranded RNA. They typically carry genes for five proteins: large protein (L ...
Plant viruses are viruses that have the potential to affect plants. Like all other viruses, plant viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that do not have the molecular machinery to replicate without a host. Plant viruses can be pathogenic to vascular plants ("higher plants") . Most plant viruses are rod-shaped, with protein discs forming ...

Influenza virus life cycle. Entry. Replication. Latency. Shedding. Viruses are only able to replicate themselves by commandeering the reproductive apparatus of cells and making them reproduce the virus's genetic structure and particles instead. How viruses do this depends mainly on the type of nucleic acid DNA or RNA they contain, which is ...
