Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the question is asking for a medical term that means 'pertaining to a virus.' This involves recognizing common prefixes and suffixes used in medical terminology related to viruses.
Step 2: Analyze each option: 'Virulent' refers to the severity or harmfulness of a pathogen, not specifically 'pertaining to a virus.'
Step 3: 'Viroidal' relates to viroids, which are infectious agents smaller than viruses, but it is not the general term for 'pertaining to a virus.'
Step 4: 'Viral' is the adjective form derived from 'virus,' commonly used in medical contexts to mean 'pertaining to a virus.'
Step 5: 'Prionic' relates to prions, which are infectious proteins, not viruses, so it does not mean 'pertaining to a virus.' Therefore, the correct term is 'Viral.'
