It has to be able to hijack a living cell, enter the cell though matching protein docking stations. Then it enters with just its' DNA or RNA (one or the other). It makes the host cell make just virus parts and assemble them. When the cell is full, it breaks open. They cell can not replace its' own parts so the membrane falls apart.
