Viruses :

  1. They have a protein coat.
  2. The genetic material may be either DNA or RNA.
  3. They can infect plants, animals and bacteria.


Viroids :

  1. They do not have a protein coat.
  2. The genetic material is RNA.
  3. They can infect only plants.

Viruses (Virus particles or virions) are usually units consisting of nucleic acids and coat proteins called capsids. Viroids consist only of RNA, i.e. they contain no protein at all.
