During a discussion on LinkedIn (link) with one of the microbiologists, I came to know how they described virus isolation, which is as follows: “A virus isolate is a virus isolated from an infected host. The process is called “isolation,” which separates viruses from the hosts.” It means that for microbiologists and virologists, taking a swab sample, which separates the virus from the host, is considered as “virus isolation.” This interpretation does not reflect the correct meaning and understanding of the subject of isolation. But, they imply and promote the true meaning of the process of isolation, i.e., to obtain something by extraction, purification, and identification, reflected by well-known pretty pictures of the DNA/RNA, proteins, and viruses such as a spherical body with spikes (aka coronavirus).
