La capside protège le génome du virus à l'intérieur de la nucléocapside et, pour les virus nus, dépourvus d'enveloppe, elle intervient dans l'attachement de la particule virale à la cellule-hôte. On distingue deux catégories de capsides : les capsides tubulaires à symétrie hélicoïdale et les capsides icosaédriques à symétrie cubique. La nature de la capside est un critère de la classification des virus. 2, record 2, French, - capside

Families Miridae -- Leaf Bugs or Plant Bugs: This family is the largest in the order [Hemiptera, suborder Heteroptera], and members of it are to be found on vegetation almost everywhere; some are very abundant. Practically all the leaf bugs feed on the juices of plants, often causing serious damage; a few are predaceous on other insects. 4, record 3, English, - plant%20bug
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The terms "mirid", "capsid bug" and "mirid bug" constitute a slightly more technical level of usage than the terms "leaf bug" and "plant bug". Some authors interpret "plant bug" much more broadly, including families other than the miridae. 6, record 3, English, - plant%20bug

The molecular specificity of the IgG response against Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was studied in 345 randomly collected sera of normal healthy individuals. The sera were tested on immunoblots containing antigens of the cell line HH514.c16 ... non-induced or induced for the expression of early antigen (EA) or viral capsid antigens (VCA), and from EBV-negative cell line Ramos-Nut. 1, record 4, English, - virus%20capsid%20antigen
