English term or phrase: virion
Definition from Merriam-Webster:
A complete virus particle that consists of an RNA or DNA core with a protein coat sometimes with external envelopes and that is the extracellular infectious form of a virus.

Example sentence(s):
  • When airborne, infective virus can drift through the air as an aerosol. In this form of transmission, “very small droplets that come out of our mouth very quickly evaporate the water off, and we’re left with a gel kind of material...that forms a bit of a protective environment for those virions to survive for longer,” Mackay explains. This is distinct from droplet-based spread of the virus. The Scientist
  • If you get enough virions on your hands and then touch your mucous membranes, including your mouth, nose and eyes, you could get infected. The Globe and Mail
  • Instead, the article suggests the cold makes us more susceptible to the virions and could activate dormant ones that are already inside us. It’s not just Covid-19, viral acute respiratory tract infections (vARIs) are also a major problem for microbiology. WBUR

  • Hoidon tehon seurannassa käytettävä herkkä kvantitatiivinen HIV-PCR osoittaa virionimäärän lisääntyvän merkittävästi jopa usealla kymmenellä prosentilla hoitoa saavista potilaista. - Duodecim  
  • Isäntäsolun ulkopuolella virukset ovat ekstrasellulaarisessa muodossa kokonaisina viruspartikkeleina, joita kutsutaan virioneiksi (Madigan ym. 2012). Virionit eivät kasva eivätkä jakaudu, vaan uusia viruksia muodostuu isäntäsolun sisällä valmistettavista viruspartikkeleista (Cann 2005). - Määttä, LuK-tutkielma 2019  
  • Virionit, eli infektiokykyiset viruspartikkelit, pysyvät suhteellisen vakaina niitä ympäröivissä olosuhteissa; niiden on todettu selviävän jäädytyksestä, kuumennuksesta 60 asteessa sekä kloorilla desinfioinnista - Koskinen, Luoma, Saari opinnäytetyö 20
