first enveloped viruses cannot tolerate ether and they need aquaes medium to survive because of the liped bilayer unlike the naked viruses which have a shell of protictive protein that can tolerate dryness and resist enzymetic activity
thats why all gastric viral infections are naked virus infictions .while enveloped viruses are related to droplet infections-influinza - or sexually transmeted diseases like -HIV-.
