Preferred Label : Enveloped Virus;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A virus that has an outer wrapping or envelope. This envelope comes from
the infected cell, or host, in a process called budding off. During the budding process,
newly formed virus particles become enveloped or wrapped in an outer coat that is
made from a small piece of the cell's plasma membrane. The envelope may play a role
in helping a virus survive and infect other cells.;
