Virus goes viral: an educational kit for virology classes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Viruses are the most numerous entities on Earth and have also been central to many episodes in the history of humankind. As the study of viruses progresses further and further, there are several limitations in transferring this knowledge to undergraduate and high school students. This deficiency is due to the difficulty in designing hands-on lessons that allow students to better absorb content, given limited financial resources and facilities, as well as the difficulty of exploiting viral particles, due to their small dimensions.

Discoveries, such as giant DNA viruses, have provided an opportunity to explore aspects of vi
