Complex Viruses Definition:
Viruses with capsids having a complex morphology that is neither icosahedral nor helical.
Prescott's Microbiology 9th Edition by Joanne Willey, Linda Sherwood, Christopher J. Woolverton
Complex Viruses Notes:
Complex Viruses are those possessing a capsid (neither helical nor exactly icosahedral) and may have a complex outer wall or protein tails. As compared to simple viruses, the capsids of complex viruses comprise of a larger variety of components. They also vary geometrically, from slight deviations from the standard shape to complete asymmetry or pleomorphism.
