Origin of Viruses Viruses may have originated from host cellsViruses may have originated from host cells first seen by an electron microscope first seen by an electron microscope Tobacco mosaic virus - first virus discovered Tobacco mosaic virus - first virus discovered Wendell Stanley ( ) first isolated TMV in 1935.
“Living Fluid Infectant” - the virus passed through filters that held bacteria.
Viral Structure Inner core - contains viral DNA or RNA (never both) Capsid - outer coat of protein Envelope - outer layer on larger viruses
