How long do viruses live?

That very much depends on the virus. Some live a long time. There are viruses known as slow viruses that have incubation period of months or even years!

Viruses are not alive but can be contracted by saliva or mucous.

viruses live and breed inside cells

more than a year .as viruses are in the form of crystals.

No viruses are not a live.

Like all viruses, they are not alive. But they can sort of lay in wait until someone picks it up. Cold viruses that you are familiar are do the same thing,

The type of cells that viruses live in are host cells. Viruses need host cells in order to reproduce or multiply.

Anywhere from an hour to a week, depending on the virus and environmental conditions.

There are some viruses that can survive alcohol.

viruses are nonliving things. but they need living things to reproduces. so live

If you are asking if a virus can live very long without its host, then no. Viruses aren't alive in the first place. Because viruses can't reproduce on their own, they are not considered living organisms. Because they aren't living to begin with, they cannot die.

Vaccines are small amounts of live viruses injected into the body. These viruses teach the body's immune system how to fight off the disease. Correction: Some viruses are live. Some are weakened, most flu vaccines are dead viruses, not live, although the nasal mist is a live, weakened virus. Please make sure your answers are correct.

viruses can live in intestine but they get remove with the removing of excretory waste.

no they use cells to make more viruses and kill the cell, then they live in you.

Yes. Viruses are living things too.

viruses can live all over your body like your heart, brain, liver etc.

can viruses be got from long time keeping of data

Viruses live almost everywhere around us in places such as the soil and air.Different viruses may infect plants,animals or even bacteria .Viruses try to gain access to the machinery in the cell in order to make more viruses.

Bacteria are much bigger and more complicated, and can live independently of other cells, whereas viruses can only live parasitically.

On computers

A vaccination using a vaccine made from attenuated live viruses.

Yes,they live in hosts only to reproduce.

Roblox does not have viruses in 2014, as long as you download it from the official website.

Biological viruses can be strand of genetic material a few nanometers long.

because you go into sites that are bad or like facebook myspace live lots of viruses

Viruses are very complex, depending on which type you are talking about depends on how they live.

Viruses can live in host cells :P trolled.

Lipophilic viruses require the lipid (fatty) envelope to remain active ("live"*), and the fatty layer can be destroyed by alcohol. Non-lipophilic viruses do not require this fatty envelope, and the protein layer (capsid) is more resistant to alcohol. *Note: viruses are not actually alive, they are only genetic codes with 1 or 2 (lipophilic) protective layers. Biologists call "live" viruses *active* and "dead" viruses *inactive* or *inactivated*.

The length of time that cold or flu germs can survive outside the body on an environmental surface, such as a doorknob, varies greatly. But the suspected range is from a few seconds to 48 hours - depending on the specific virus and the type of surface. Flu viruses tend to live longer on surfaces than cold viruses do. Also, it's generally believed that cold and flu viruses live longer on nonporous surfaces - such…

It can last up to 2 weeks. The length of time that cold or flu germs can survive outside the body on an environmental surface, such as a doorknob, varies greatly.

nope i think because i have been playing it in a long time and i have no viruses.

not so much you can get viruses from it if it take a long time to download a song then it could be a viruses but getting a viruses from lime wire is unlikely

In order for viruses to multiply, they must live in or on a living organism. Scientists use animals in experiments sometimes when testing cures for viruses.

No. Viruses are very basic and that is why they require a host to live and multiply. A virus consists of nucleic acid and a capsid.

It depends on what type of blood you have

some can and some can't

Usually your immune system will kill the virus and you will live your normal life span. There are specific groups of people who are at higher risk for complications and even death from the H1N1/09 flu, but the death rate is very low compared to even the seasonal flu viruses, chances are you will live as long as you would have without having had the flu.

Maurice Hilleman developed the first effective mumps vaccine in 1963. It was tested and became commercially available in 1967. It was created from live mumps viruses. Before that, starting in 1950, there had been a vaccine made from killed mumps viruses but it was not very effective or long-lasting.

No, it is not possible to get viruses from using Xbox Live. This is a very common misconception - playing MOST video games online will not give you any sort of viruses or breach your security in any way.

In the US there is a flu vaccination made with live viruses that have been weakened (attenuated) to prevent them from making otherwise healthy people sick. This type of vaccine can be used by those who are healthy and aged 2 - 49. It creates a very good immune response to cause immunity and so it can be administered in an intranasal mist that is inhaled into the nose instead of having to be given…

Vaccines for the prevention of the specific viral infection can be made with inactive "dead" viruses. They are also made with live, but attenuated (weakened), viruses. See more below about vaccines.

Viruses are commonly gone within days or weeks. Whenever a virus enters the body, the immune system starts to attack it an able to completely remove from the body.

No. Because XNA is a library specifically made for Xbox and it doesn't carry viruses, your Xbox will not get viruses from using Live. However, you probably could have a slower Xbox from playing a lot of custom-map sessions, or perhaps your Xbox could simply have a hard drive failure.

Many bacteria live in your body, and most of them do not make you sick. The ones that do make you sick do so because of the fact that they use your body's resources to live and reproduce, and also because their waste products are toxic. Similarly with viruses - viruses reproduce by invading and reprogramming your body's cells to make more viruses. This harms your body because it destroys its cells.

Yes, the majority of viruses are very species specific. There are exceptions however, such as rabies. Most viruses will not survive for long beyond their host tissue environment.

The exact date of the discovery of viruses is unknown. However, many scientists believe that viruses have been around for over 3. 8 billion years.

No viruses should not be considered living organisms because they require a host to live &therefore are not an organism but an infestation.

You have live, attenuated viruses in the chicken pox vaccine.

Of course not...

it does not give u viruses b-cuz i had it for a long TIME and never gave one to me and i have a gateway computer.
