Positive Strand RNA Infection Scholarly Peer-review Journal

A positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus may be a virus that uses positive sense single stranded RNA as its genetic material. Single stranded RNA viruses are classified as positive or negative counting on the sense or polarity of the RNA. The positive-sense viral RNA genome can function messenger RNA and may be translated into protein within the host cell. Positive-sense ssRNA viruses belong to Group IV within the Baltimore classification. Positive-sense RNA viruses account for an outsized fraction of known viruses, including many pathogens like the hepacivirus C, West Nile virus, dengue virus, SARS and MERS coronaviruses, and SARS-CoV-2 also as less clinically serious pathogens like the rhinoviruses that cause the cold.
