No, they dont, they can infect plants and bacteria too.

Why could a virus not infect another virus?
Viruses only infect living organisms and since they are not alive, they can not infect other viruses. The question is interesting though.
Can all living things be affected by viruses?
Not all living things can be affected by viruses; viruses are highly specific and typically infect particular hosts. Most viruses target specific types of cells, such as those found in animals, plants, fungi, or bacteria. For instance, bacteriophages are viruses that specifically infect bacteria, while other viruses may only infect certain animal or plant species. Therefore, while many organisms can be affected by viruses, others are resistant or immune to specific viral infections.
What are the viruses the infect bacteria called?
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria.
How many different types of viruses are in the?
There are thousands of different types of viruses that exist in the world. These viruses can infect various organisms including animals, plants, and bacteria. It is estimated that only a small fraction of all viruses have been identified and studied so far.
How do you infect others computers with viruses?
YOU don't infect other computers with viruses.
Do plant viruses only infect plant species that have RNA?

Can plant virus infect animals?
Viruses only target certain host cells that contains the complementary receptor, and since plant cells and animals cells differ. Virals found in plants may not effect animals if animals do not contain the same host cells. However, viruses mutate rapidly, so there could be a chance....
Are viruses general or specific to the cells that they infect?
viruses are specific to the cells they infect called host cells
What do viruses that cause physical diseases infect?
It depends on what kind of virus. Viruses can infect any cell in the human body. Viruses such as HIV infect the immune system; air-born viruses, such as H1N1 or a cold, infect the respiratory system; neurological viruses, like rabies infect the brain (the virus is usually carried to it by peripheral nerves); and viruses like polio effect the nervous system, which can create paralysis.
What does Caulimoviridae infect?
Caulimoviridea are retro viruses that infect plants.
Why cant every virus infect every living cell?
Viruses can only infect specific cells that have the necessary receptors on their surface for the virus to attach to. Each virus is adapted to infect specific types of cells based on these interactions. This specificity limits the range of cells that a virus can successfully infect.
How do you write short note on virus?
Viruses are small infectious agents that can only replicate inside the cells of living organisms. They consist of genetic material (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat. Viruses can infect all types of life forms, from animals and plants to bacteria. They are responsible for a wide range of diseases in humans, animals, and plants.
