nonviral
Lacking viral agents
Nonviral describes something not caused by, related to, or involving a virus.
In medicine, a nonviral infection has a bacterial, fungal, or other cause.
In molecular biology, nonviral gene delivery uses methods other than viral vectors to introduce genetic material into cells.
Online, nonviral content is material that hasn't spread rapidly across the internet.
