What Role Does Toxicology Play in Studying Enveloped Viruses?
Toxicology contributes to the understanding of enveloped viruses by evaluating the toxic effects of viral infections on host cells and tissues. Toxicologists study how viral components and replication impact cellular functions, leading to cytotoxicity and disease. Additionally, toxicology is essential in assessing the safety and efficacy of antiviral drugs and vaccines targeted against enveloped viruses.
