Virus characterization is the process of studying and identifying specific characteristics of a virus, including its genetic makeup, structure, and behavior. This research area involves studying the morphology, genome organization, replication cycle, host range, and pathogenicity of viruses. By understanding these characteristics, researchers can better diagnose, treat, and prevent viral infections. Virus characterization is essential for developing vaccines, antiviral drugs, and diagnostic tools to combat viral diseases.
