Positive-Strand RNA Viruses of Animals
Positive strand RNA viruses are the single largest group of RNA viruses with 30 families.

Virus Attachment and Genome Entry
Attachment is a specific binding between viral capsid proteins and specific receptors on the host cellular surface.

Viral Replication and Gene Expression
RNA viruses are classified into distinct groups depending on their genome and mode of replication.

Viral Exit
Viruses are released from the host cell following assembly.
