    This document categorizes viruses based on their nucleic acid type, strand structure, morphology, envelope presence, viral group, and associated diseases. It shows that DNA viruses can have single or double strands and icosahedral morphology without envelopes, while RNA viruses have more variation in strand structure, morphology, and envelope presence across different viral groups linked to diseases like influenza, measles, yellow fever and more.
