viruses are specific to the cells they infect called host cells
Some naked viruses include poliomyelitis, warts, the common cold, chickenpox, shingles, mononucleosis, herpes simplex (cold sores), influenza, herpes viruses and HIV (AIDS). Some enveloped viruses include norovirus (stomach bug), rotavirus and human papillomavirus (HPV).
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.

Highly specific
- some viruses can be used in biological weapons- some viruses are used in the fight against pests
Viruses have specific proteins on them which only binds to certain receptors, which are present in certain cell's plasma membrane.
viruses must bind precisely to proteins on the cell surface and than use a hosts genetic system, this is why most viruses are highly specific to the cells they infect
what are some adaptations viruses
It depends on the virus. Viruses may have a very specific host range.
No. Any and all viruses are parasitic. There may not be any helpful viruses, but there are certainly a large quantity of harmless viruses, which doesn't infect humans, but rather specific animals or plants.
Cool math games have some viruses but not all of them some like run2 don't have viruses.
