It is worth noting that some types of viruses affect In types Specific of living organisms, where we find that some types of viruses infect cats, for example without having any effect in dogs, and viruses possess several different complex forms, as it surrounds the genetic materialAntiviral protein cover, or greasy, or glycoprotein, and be the genetic material of the virus in the form of acid Riboza nuclear ( in English: Ribonucleic acid) and Acronym RNA, or Riboza nucleic acid form of reduced oxygen ( in English: Deoxyribonucleic acid) and Acronym DNA. [1] Volume 0% Virus prevention The risk of infection with viral infection and the health complications associated with it increases with age, especially in cases where a person suffers from a chronic disease such as heart disease and diabetes, and in what comes a statement of some advice and procedures that can be followed to prevent infection with a viral infection: [2 ] [3] Obtaining the appropriate vaccines: Care should be taken to obtain the appropriate vaccines according to the age and time of the year, especially for children, as vaccines protect against many severe diseases, and obtaining a seasonal flu vaccine helps in preventing Infection with some types of influenza viruses, but it should be noted that the influenza vaccine does not protect against all types of viruses that cause influenza infection .

Vaccines: Vaccines are one of the most effective ways to prevent viral infection, and the principle of vaccinations is to use a weakened form of the virus, use antigens for the virus, or use a live, attenuated virus (in English: Live-attenuated viruses) .
