Most viruses which have been studied have a diameter between 10 and 300 nanometers.
One micrometer
The coat protein of the virus binds to a specifc cell surface receptor on the human cell.

The largest known virus is the Mimivirus with a length of 800 nanometers.

The size of a typical bacterial cell is 0.5-5.0 micrometers, a average human cell is 10 micrometers.

The virus takes over the cell and it uses the cell to make more and more virus then it spreads out.
Virus
Viruses are MUCH smaller than cells in size.
A virus is a tiny bundle of genetic material - either DNA or RNA - carried in a shell called a viral coat, or capsid, which is made up of protein. Some viruses have an additional layer around this coat called an envelope. When a virus particle enters a cell and begins to reproduce itself, this is called a viral infection. The virus is usually very, very small compared to the size of a living cell. The information carried in the virus's DNA allows it to take over the operation of the cell, converting it to a factory to make more copies of itself. For example, the polio virus can make over one million copies of itself inside a single, infected human intestinal cell.
The YEAST cell is by far the biggest cell out of a BACTERIUM and a VIRUS.... I know this 'cos it was on my science homework and 'cos i found it on another website which gave me the urge to put it here since the question hadn't been answered....x
