Roughly 2/3rds of viruses have RNA as opposed to DNA. The term "RNA virus" means that ribonucleic acid is the type of nucleic acid that holds the genome.
DNA viruses: adeno, hepadna (hep B), herpes (herpes and chicken pox), papova, parvo, pox (smallpox etc.)
RNA viruses: picorna (rhino - common cold), calici, orthomyxo, paramyxo (measles and mumps), corona, retro (HIV), toga (rubella), flavi, bunya, reo, arena, filo, rhabdo (rabies)
