The effects that the quokkapox virus has on the host is weakening the immune system. The other effect of the quokkapox virus is that the host will get pox lesions.

What do enveloped viruses possess?
As the virus is leaving the cell (budding), it sometimes takes along a part of the cell's membrane called the envelope. Those viruses without an envelope are called "naked" viruses. Those with one are said to be enveloped.
Are prokaryote eukaryote virus multicellular unicellular or both?
Virus particles are not cells or life forms, they are just some nucleic acids coated with proteins and few functional enzymes to infect its host and establish the production of new particles. In absence of host they are unable to do this.
Can a bacteria live without its host?
It depends on the kind of Bacteria you are talking about. Most do not depend on a host and live on their own. Some, such as E. coli can live outside a host at least for some time. A few are entirely dependent on a host.
An example of a latent viral infection is?
During a latent infection, the viral genome is present within the host's cells but it is not being replicated nor is any cellular destruction taking place. Some viruses for which latent infection in the main type of host-virus interaction are:Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)Herpes Simplex virus (HSV)Varicella Zoster virus (VZV)Cytomegalovirus (CMV)Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)
What does the virus use from the host cell in order to make new viral nucleic acid and?
The virus takes over a cell's DNA and forces it, along with some of the viruses own DNA as a 'blueprint' to make more viruses. Hope this helped!
What is the outer layer of the virus that helps it enter its host?
The outer layer of a virus is called the capsid. Some viruses have an envelope over the capsid either one help the virus enter its' host.
Where must viruses be found if they are to reproduce?
A virus "replicates" [the term often heard in place of "reproduces"] inside a host cell with the process called the Lytic Cycle. The details of the steps of the Lytic Cycle are in the related questions below in the Related Questions section.Basically, once the virus has found a suitable host that is made up of the type of host cells that its virus type uses (i.e., plant, animal ~ including insects to humans, or bacteria), it attaches to the host. Then the virus implants the "key" to its genetic makeup into the cell. When this DNA "key" (or RNA in some viruses) of the virus is inserted into cells of a host, it allows the cells to be hijacked and, at the appropriate time for that particular virus, it instructs the host to make more virus particles. The virus can either lie dormant, such as in some cases of the HIV/AIDS virus, or immediately become active and command the host cell to start the replication processes.If the virus becomes active, it can then turn the host cell into a 'factory' for making more viruses. The result usually, but not always, is that the host becomes ill because the cells are no longer functioning as they should for the host while working on the job of the replication. With each cycle of replication, the virus particles can invade even more and more cells until the host's immune system (or other defense) can catch up to kill the invader.How_do_viruses_reproduce

What is true about a lysogenic infection?
Many viruses enter the lytic cycle immediately following infecting the host cell. However, some viruses may not lyse their host immediately and enter the lysogenic cycle. At the start of the lysogenic cycle, the virus genome is integrated into the host chromosome instead of being immediately transcribed and translated. The virus genome then lies dormant in the host chromosome until a later event triggers its excision from the host chromosome. The excised viral genome will then be transcribed and translated and the virus enters the lytic cycle. the virus hides in the host's DNA.
What are some characteristics of viruses?
some characteristics of a virus: - needs a host - can contain DNA or RNA - can have an envelope cell - is an acellular organism

Do viruses have membrane bound organeles?
No, a virus rarely has more than some strands of DNA stored in the capsule. The virus injects the DNA into the host cell for the cell to construct copies of the virus.
How bacteria can protect themselves from attack by virus?
It produce some type of anzyme callet restriction enzyme that cut the foreing DNA of the virus that have been previoslly integrated into the host genome.
Some viruses have special molecules on their capsids. what function do these molecules perform?
Molecules preform a few functions. The most important function is to layer the cells.
Why can living organisms infected with a virus still appear healthy?
It can take some time for the effects to appear. The virus has to highjack the host cells and get that cell to make more viruses. It all takes time for this to happen. This one reason we say we don't feel well and that we may becoming down with something.
Can you find out what a virus on your computer was from?
some viruses use the host computer's email to spread, but normally you can't go to the starter adress.
