Viral structures are almost guaranteed to be on your medical standardized test.
If you can sing along with the Virus rap, you are not just listing all clinucally relevant
DNA and RNA viruses, you are also memorizing these viral structures.
For example, both verses end with "no envelope" which reminds you that the final lines list:
the naked DNA and naked RNA viruses.
Other parenthetical expressions remind you of other structural characteristics.
For example "4 3 Neg" means that the negative sense RNA viruses are the 4 viruses before:
Deltavirus, Arenavirus, Bunyavirus, Filovirus and the 3 viruses after: Rhabdovirus, Paramyxovirus,
and Orthomyxovirus.
These 4...3 are the Negative strand RNA viruses.

More structural characteristics such as strand, capsid, and (circular or linear),
will be covered in a future tutorial.
