A virus is a sub-microscopic agent that is unable to produce on its own. They multiply by infecting cells and then taking over the cell’s control center, which allows them to multiply at amazing speeds. Once there are enough viruses in the cell, the cell is destroyed by the viruses bursting out of the cell and moving on to invade other cells. It’s essentially the simplest form of life known to man (and some people argue, due to their lack of cells, that they technically aren’t even “living”!) Examples of well-known viruses include measles, chicken pox, and HIV/AIDS. Now you can get a good look at what a virus is composed of by getting this interesting virus model! The 3D model and instruction booklet allow you to see the details of a virus. Removable parts allow you to clearly see both the inside and outside of this organism. Highly detailed and scientifically accurate, this reference model will be a great asset to have in any biology or anatomy class!
