If you work in this area of healthcare science, you’ll usually be part of a larger clinical microbiology service specialising in the identification and characterisation of viruses that cause infection.

Detailed explanation-3: -You must have successfully finished your B.Sc. in a science-related field, such as microbiology, virology, life science, biochemistry, biotechnology, zoology, MBBS, medical lab technology, or any other degree in a scientific field. In your bachelor’s level exams, you have to have received at least a 55 percent grade.

Detailed explanation-4: -By studying viruses, we can learn about the biology of host cells and organisms, develop strategies against viral disease and manipulate viruses for our own purposes. Some viruses are only a single self-replicating gene, while others can encode almost a thousand proteins and be the size of a bacterium.
