what is a virologist
Virologists are microbiologists who study microorganisms that quickly duplicate, resulting in the rapid spreading of viruses. Their primary work is to figure out how diseases like AIDS, SARS and hepatitis spread, in order to prevent more rampant development and to assist in vaccine development.
One of the most important procedures in virology is measuring the virus titer â the concentration of viruses in a sample.A widely used approach for determining the quantity of infectious virus is the plaque assay. This technique was first developed to calculate the titers of bacteriophage stocks.ne of the most important procedures in virology is measuring the virus titer â the concentration of viruses in a sample.
