Nonenveloped viruses are generally more stable and resistant to environmental stressors like heat, pH, and detergents. They also typically cause more immediate damage and destruction of infected cells upon release due to their ability to lyse cells and cause cell death. Enveloped viruses, on the other hand, are more fragile and typically require closer contact and entry into cells to cause damage. RNA and DNA viruses can both be enveloped or nonenveloped, so the type of nucleic acid does not necessarily determine the immediate damage potential.
