A virus will stay active until is dries out or comes in contact with a substance that destroys it protein coat. However, some virus will go into a dormant stage after they dry out and will become active again, if conditions are right. How long a virus can stay dormant depends on the species of virus. For example, retro-viruses like HIV and the flu virus die with in minutes after leaving the body, but a cold virus can be in an active of dormant state on a door handle for days.
Depends on the virus. Some can live on indefinitely, as long as the host is still alive, while others a short time .
Once infected, it does not leave the body.
A virus can survive anywhere between several minutes to a week or more outside of the body.
It depends upon what kind of worms you are talking about. For example, earthworms live for 10-15 years outside of the body.
Depending on the virus and environmental conditions, it can live from about 1 hour to 1 week outside the body.
E. coli bacteria can live outside of the body for long durations of time. This is especially true when there are conditions available that allow for these organisms to eat and multiply.
Sperm cannot live for very long outside of the body
for years in soil and other surfaces.
A dahlia can live outside until it freezes. So it is a perennial in zones 8 and higher. Otherwise a gardener needs to take the tubers indoors and keep them at 50 degrees.
Platelets live for about four to eight days
Hepatitis C can live for 1 week outside the body.
I am not sure how long it will live outside the body, but this does not necessarily matter as many people are carriers.

Hep B can live for up to a week outside the body.
E. coli bacteria can live outside of the body for long durations of time. This is especially true when there are conditions available that allow for these organisms to eat and multiply.

The Herpes Virus
Virii like hepatitis actually alter your DNA. Once you have hepatitis, you have it for life. Virii can go through long periods of dormancy where they don't cause harm to internal organs, but can suddenly "switch on" and in the case of hepatitis cause severe damage to your liver. If you think you have been exposed to Hep C it's important to get checked out and then get on a life long treatment regimen.
