The study of the scientific discipline concerned with the study of the biology of viruses and viral diseases including biochemistry, physiology, clinical aspects of viruses is called Virology. Virology deals with the following aspects of viruses: their structure, evolution, classification, ways of infecting and exploiting the host cells for reproduction, their interaction with host organism physiology and immunity, the diseases they cause, the techniques to isolate and culture them, and their use in research and therapy. The scientific study of microorganisms, those being unicellular, multicellular, or acellular is called microbiology. Microbiology provides information that is needed to create vaccines and suitable treatments for various infectious diseases. Microbiologists develop new products that kill viruses and bacteria. Biologists use microbiology for developing new ways of combating illness.
