Basically,a virus is a microscopic organism that causes infection and disease. Viral illnesses can range from mild to severe Some examples are the common cold, influenza, polio, smallpox and HIV/AIDS. Viruses are only active in the body outside the body they are just dormant (dead).A virus invades a host cell, switches out the host's genetic code with its own, then uses the cell's equipment and resources to pump out lots and lots of new viruses, which go off and invade other host cells thereby causing diseases.
In summary, viruses can only survive in the body or a blood cell where it can reproduce and spread diseases.
