Virus

Virus, the smallest form of life (20–300 nanometres), is structurally and functionally unique. Their size is such that they do not contain enough genetic material to code for the proteins they require for reproduction, nor do they have ribosomes needed to synthesize these proteins. Therefore, being obliged to enter permissive host cells that assist them to reproduce, they are obligate intracellular parasites implicated in diseases of humans, other animals and plants.
