Taking Viruses to Pieces by R. J. C. Harris, A.R.C.S., Ph.D. of the Division of Experimental
Biology and Virology,
Imperial Cancer Research Fund
Viruses are the smallest organisms that produce disease in plants, animals, and man. Recent research on the way in which they attack living cells has revealed that, for some of them at least, only part of the virus particle is necessary for infection.
Dr. Harris discusses some of the implications of the discovery that it is possible to take a virus particle to pieces.
