  6. **** Virus: a particle that has all discriminative features but lack the ability of replication.

  7. **** Virion: the viral particle in its replicated form

  8. **** Provirus is the integrated viral nucleic acid within the host nucleic acid

  9. **** It lack the ability of replication due to a functional disorder in some Viral genes through the replication of the slandered viruses

  10. **** Pseudo-virus: Similar to standard virus but its protein coat occupied by the host cell nucleic acid or organelle.

  11. **** Multi-particle: virus composed of two or more particles, each particle contain one viral genome segment.

  12. **** Satellite virus: That virus can not replicate except in the presence of another virus called helper.

  13. **** Virusoid: a satellite RNA particle which can not make infection but can replicate only inside the protein coat of other virus

  14. Viroid: Naked infectious closed circular single strand RNA with low molecular weight and potentially pathogenic agents to plants

  15. ****

  16. Prion: A group of proteinaceous infectious agent ( lacking nucleic acid) with high molecular weight and cause diseases to animals only.
