VIRUSES
Viruses can infect plants and animals, viroids are only known to infect plants.
Viruses can have either RNA or DNA genomes and are obligate intracellular parasites of the host cell translational machinery.
VIROIDS
Viroids can only reproduce inside a host cell and need host cell DNA-dependent RNA polymerase to replicate.
A Viroid is formed only of a single stranded circular RNA molecule that is much smaller and simpler than a virus. Viroids are naked RNA with no protein or lipid coat. Unlike viral genomes viroid genomes do not encode for any proteins.
