Content DNA viruses RNA viruses Comparison

DNA viruses Contain DNA as genetic material Large icosahedral and enveloped in lipoproteins Some time referred as HHAPPY viruses because Herpes Hepadna Adeno Papova Parvo Pox

DNA viruses

RNA Virus Contain RNA as genetic material Mostly single stranded helical capsid symmetry Replicate in cytoplasm Toga Corona Retro Picorna Arena Reo Orthomyxo Paramyxo

Comparison DNA viruses RNA viruses DNA as genetic material RNA as genetic material Mostly double stranded They are single stranded Mutation rate is less than RNA viruses Mutation rate is higher than DNA viruses DNA viruses are stable RNA viruses are unstable Replicate in nucleus of host cell Replicate in the cytoplasm of host cell Contain a large genome Contain a small genome Newly synthesized DNA is packed in a pre-formed capsid called procapsid Newly synthesized RNA is not packed in a procapsid

Comparison DNA viruses RNA viruses DNA viruses shows an accurate replication. RNA viruses shows an error-prone replication. Adenoviruses, Herpesviruses, Poxviruses, Parvoviruses, and Hepadnaviruses are the examples of DNA viruses. Reoviruses,  Picornaviruses, Togaviruses,  Orthomyxoviruses, Rhabdoviruses,  and Retroviruses are the examples of RNA viruses. Smallpox, herpes, and chickenpox are diseases of DNA viruses.  SARS, the common cold, influenza, hepatitis C polio and measles are some of the diseases caused by RNA viruses.
