        • Example sentence(s)
          • When airborne, infective virus can drift through the air as an aerosol. In this form of transmission, “very small droplets that come out of our mouth very quickly evaporate the water off, and we’re left with a gel kind of material...that forms a bit of a protective environment for those virions to survive for longer,” Mackay explains. This is distinct from droplet-based spread of the virus. - The Scientist by
          • If you get enough virions on your hands and then touch your mucous membranes, including your mouth, nose and eyes, you could get infected. - The Globe and Mail by
          • Instead, the article suggests the cold makes us more susceptible to the virions and could activate dormant ones that are already inside us. It’s not just Covid-19, viral acute respiratory tract infections (vARIs) are also a major problem for microbiology. - WBUR by

        • Definition(s)
          • Вирион — полноценная вирусная частица, состоящая из нуклеиновой кислоты и капсида (оболочки, состоящей из белка и, реже, липидов) и находящаяся вне живой клетки. Wikipedia - by Tetiana Tkachenko

          • COVID-19 este un ribovirus (virus cu genom ARN) care face parte din familia CORONAVIRIDAE. Denumirea acestuia vine de la aspectul particular al particulelor virale infecțioase (denumite virioni), care prezintă pe înveliș spicule glicoproteice (S) proeminente, ce formează o coroană. Virionii corona au formă sferică, sunt relativ mari (120-160 nm în diametru) şi au cel mai mare genom dintre toate virusurile cu genom ARN! - COVID-19: contagiozitate, mutații și . by Simona Pop
