The present paper presents the carrier-acoustic phonon scattering in the spherical and TMV viruses. We demonstrate theoretically that the absorption rate changes in spherical and TMV viruses according to the phonon energy while emission of phonon is limited by the hole energy. The obtained relaxation rate is then used to calculate the conductivity and mobility of viruses. The obtained conductivity for spherical and TMV viruses suggest that the TMV virus is more conducting and therefore may be a good candidate for the connector or wire to be used in the nanoelectronics. The value of resistance obtained for TMV virus is lower than the earlier reported resistance of DNA.
