Virus host range refers to the range of organisms or cell types that a particular virus can infect. Some viruses have a broad host range and can infect multiple species, while others have a narrow host range and can only infect specific hosts. The host range is determined by factors such as the virus's ability to enter host cells and replicate within them.
Viruses can only multiply (reproduce) within a host cell. The type of host cell is dependent on the virus' host range.

Glycoproteins play a crucial role in virus entry into host cells by facilitating attachment and fusion with the cell membrane. They also help in evading the host immune system by shielding the virus from detection and destruction. Additionally, glycoproteins can determine the host range and tissue tropism of the virus.
It all depends on what you mean by your question. Both the host cell and the virus have proteins that must match for the virus to enter the cell. The more these match, the greater number of species of plants and animals that will be affected.
Virus specificity refers to the ability of a virus to infect specific host cells or organisms due to interactions between viral and host cell surface molecules. Each virus has a specific range of hosts that it can infect based on these molecular interactions, which determine its infectivity and pathogenicity. This specificity is what underlies the diverse range of diseases caused by different viruses.
It depends on the virus. Viruses may have a very specific host range.
Viruses do not cause diseases in the host. Why? Well, the host is already causing the virus so it is IMPOSSIBLE for another virus to be cause in the host.
The virus attaches to the host cells membrane.
The cell infected by a virus is referred to as the host cell. The virus hijacks the host cell's machinery to replicate and produce more virus particles.
First the virus enters the host cell, then the virus' hereditary material come, then the host cells hereditary material becomes viral, then the host cell expands, and then it POPS!!!
The host cell does not benefit from having a virus. The virus usually kills it.
