What type of bad microbes or viruses can reproduce in used floor-cloth?

Any microbe that was pathogenic (is a virus) cannot survive for very long in the open environment. Viruses reproduce by infecting a host-cell and injecting it with it's own DNA, so long as the cell belongs to a carbon-based life form. Meaning, a virus can only reproduce inside of a living cell belonging to a living thing. What's alive inside floor-cloth, then? Dust mites. Millions of them. They, on a slightly smaller scale, are still a good bit bigger than a pathogen, but can still carry / obtain them as easily as you can.

ARE Viruses are a type of cell?
The type of cells that viruses live in are host cells. Viruses need host cells in order to reproduce or multiply.
Can germs make Swine Flu?
Yes, there are different types of germs, and viruses are one of them. Viruses cause the flu and swine flu is one type. Germ is a general lay term for an infectious agent that causes disease, similar to the general term pathogen. Pathogens cause illness or disease. Another term used is microbe, although many scientists in the field do not classify viruses as microbes because they are not living organisms, however, for a lack of a better term, viruses are still often called microbes. Viruses are also not microscopic like microbes, they are even much smaller and are considered sub-microscopic, requiring an electron microscope to visualize.
What type of microbe causes fungi?
There are six main types of microbes. Fungi is a microbe, with the other five being archaea, bacteria, protista, viruses and microbial mergers.
Do viruses reproduce asexually or sexually?
Viruses reproduce within a cell. They reproduce asexually. The Ebola virus reproduces asexually. However, sometimes a cell is infected by two different viruses at the same time. Part or parts of one virus can get into another virus. So while the reproduction is not really sexual, it does involve parts from two different viruses. The Ebola virus could change by adding parts from another virus.
What do viruses need to survive and reproduce?
They need the right temperature and moisture to grow and the right type of host cell.
What type of virus is the most intelligent?
Viruses have no intelligence. They act on the instinct to survive and reproduce.
How viruses use the cells of living organisms to reproduce. What is the type of cell used by the virus called?
host
What type of microorganism can only grow and reproduce in host cells?
Viruses.(although they aren't completely clarified as living beings)
Bacteria and viruses do not have a nucleus what helps them reproduce?
Bacteria are prokaryotic type of organisms. They reproduce by binary fission. In place of nucleus, they have a single DNA molecule called nucleoid. Viruses are living only inside a cell. They divide by producing multiple copies of their DNA.

Viruses and bacteria are which type of living thing?
Bacteria and viruses are small and can only be seen through a microscope. The small living things are microorganisms or microbes. Some people do not think viruses are living things because they are acellular particles. They consider them to be an organic structure that interacts with living organisms.
Where does a virus multiplied?
Viruses can only multiply (reproduce) within a host cell. The type of host cell is dependent on the virus' host range.

What are the cause and effect of computer viruses?
There are two types of computer viruses. New ones that are wider spread today then actual VIRUSES. Are 1) Malware Applications. I dont believe most malware applications reproduce automatically, or are designed to actually damage any part of your computer. The Second type of VIRUS is the actual viruses for example look up the 'Standard Stoned Virus' I believe it was one of the first viruses to come out and it had two purposes. One was to reproduce and the other was to damage your hard drive. (nasty)
What type of microbes are found in toothpaste?
Toothpaste helps in killing pathogenic microbes. I don't think it itself contains any microbes.
