A filovirus is a filamentous or thread-like RNA virus, of a genus which causes severe hemorrhagic fevers in humans and primates, and which includes the Ebola and Marburg viruses. It replicates at lightning speed and causes devastating disease. The difference between RNA and DNA:
DNA is a double-stranded helical molecule while RNA is single-stranded helical molecule
DNA and RNA differ in respect to one of the four base-pair molecules which compose the skeleton of said structures (uracil instead of thymine)
DNA is how higher-level organism transfer their hereditary traits to the next generation, while virii use RNA.
