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 sentences:
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)

Віріон — одинарна, повноцінна інфекційна частина вірусу, яка складається з нуклеїнової кислоти РНК або ДНК — спадкового (генетичного) матеріалу та оболонки — білкових молекул або агрегатів молекул.
Example sentences:
Віріон — це неактивна форма існування вірусів. Розміри віріонів коливаються в широких межах: від 15 до 970 нм (1 нанометр = 10-9 м). (Морфологія і хімічний)
