The term viral refers to an infection driven by a virus and examples include COVID-19, AIDS, measles, hepatitis, and smallpox. Viruses contain DNA or RNA and must infect host cells in order to replicate and they can damage the host during this process. Antiviral medications or vaccines can treat viral infections.
