Abstract

<p>A virus is a microscopic organism, which sometimes causes disease to the host. There are many pathogenic human viruses with RNA genomes such as influenza, measles, Ebola, rabies, corona, and West Nile viruses. Understanding virus structures is essential to clarify their replication mechanism and to develop anti-viral drugs. However, structural analysis of RNA viruses is challenging because most of them have a flexible and fragile nature. Here, I will describe our structural studies using electron microscopies on RNA viruses such as influenza and Ebola viruses.</p>
