Virology is the branch of microbiology that focuses on the study of viruses, including their structure, classification, replication, pathogenesis, and interactions with hosts. Viruses are unique infectious agents that exist at the boundary between living and non-living entities. Unlike bacteria and other microorganisms, viruses cannot replicate independently; they rely entirely on host cells to reproduce. This dependency makes them significant in the fields of medicine, biotechnology, and public health.

The significance of virology has expanded with the emergence of novel viral diseases, pandemics, and the continuous evolution of viral pathogens. From early discoveries of viral infections to the development of vaccines and antiviral therapies, virology has played a crucial role in advancing medical science. The study of viruses extends beyond human health, influencing veterinary medicine, agriculture, and environmental sciences. Understanding the fundamental principles of virology is essential for diagnosing, treating, and preventing viral diseases.

Historically, virology began with the discovery of infectious agents that were too small to be seen under a microscope. The first major breakthrough occurred in the late 19th century when Dmitri Ivanovsky and Martinus Beijerinck independently demonstrated that certain infectious agents, later identified as viruses, could pass through filters that trapped bacteria. This led to the realization that viruses were distinct from other microorganisms. The discovery of bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, further expanded the field and paved the way for molecular virology.
