What do viruses that cause physical diseases infect?
It depends on what kind of virus. Viruses can infect any cell in the human body. Viruses such as HIV infect the immune system; air-born viruses, such as H1N1 or a cold, infect the respiratory system; neurological viruses, like rabies infect the brain (the virus is usually carried to it by peripheral nerves); and viruses like polio effect the nervous system, which can create paralysis.
What are the harmful effects of human viruses?
Viruses are parasitic, they can infect plants, animals, and bacteria, and the can cause serious or not too serious diseases.They also infect specific tissue in the human body and cause disturbances in this organ such as flu virus
What kind of viruses infect humans?
Bacteria,fungi,or parasitic worms invade the human body.
Where do viruses hide inside the human body?
They are not playing hide and seek game.They infect the human cells to spread themselves. This cause disease in human.
Dog Virus infectous to humans?
There are quite a few different dog viruses that are infectious to human beings. Other dog viruses die before they can infect humans.
What cells are infected by the human immunodeficiency virus considering that most viruses infect a specific kind of cell?
T-cells.
Is HIV able to make copies of itself without the aid of another organism?
No HIV, like all viruses lacks the machinery for self replication. Viruses instead must infect a host cell and hijack the cell to make more viruses. In the case of HIV, it must infect a living human cell in order to copy itself.
What are the harmful effects of humans?

What tools do virologist use?
This is not a complete list but a virology lab should have access to An electron microscope (for looking at very small things), A thermocycler (for amplifying DNA using PCR) An ELISA plate reader (another test for detecting viruses.) A What_tools_does_a_virologist_usecentrifuge (used for purifying viruses) For a virologist looking at human and animal viruses they will need test human or animal cells to infect (cell cultures not the animals themselves)- and for a plant virologist test plants to infect.
How does the common cold spread in the human body?
The Lytic Cycle describes the process. This is the mechanism by which viruses infect a host, take over the function of the cells, and use them to replicate millions of new viruses in your body. The word lytic is used since the infected host cells are lysed (split open), and killed in the process, as the new virus particles mature and are ready for release in the body. Common cold viruses infect the cells of the mucous tissue in humans, mostly that of the respiratory system. However, cold viruses also infect the tissues in the eyes, mouth and the rest of the gastrointestinal system with mucous tissue.
Are some viruses surrounded by an outer membrane?
Some enveloped viruses include norovirus (stomach bug), rotavirus and human papillomavirus (HPV). This is called an envelope. The envelope can be damaged by freezing temperatures, chlorine, and phenol. If damaged the virus cannot infect.
What is a kingdom specific infection?
A kingdom-specific infection refers to the manner in which viruses can only infect specific types of host cells. For example, a virus that infects a plant cannot infect a dog or a human, because plants are members of a different kingdom. Likewise, a virus that infects a bacteria (bacteriophages) cannot infect a plant or a bird.
