It depends on the virus. Viruses may have a very specific host range.

Viruses have some characteristics of life but these are not considered living organisms as they are non cellular.
Bacteria are cellular while viruses are non cellular .
Yes!!, Viruses are non cellular parasitic agents. They are not included in the classification of organisms. They consist of two parts: and outer capsid(composed of proteins) and an inner core of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA). They can only reproduce inside a living cell.
INTERFERON is a substance produced by body cells when they are attacked by viruses.
Viruses are not classified as living, while cellular organisms are. Viruses are essentially a protein case with mRNA inside. Cells are far more complicated.
No; viruses are sub-Cellular 'virons', while parasites are frequently multi-cellular organisms.

The closest thing that we have to non cellular living organisms is viruses, and there is some debate about whether they qualify as living things, or should be regarded instead as self-replicating poisons.
Viruses are cellular parasites.
Viruses do produce cellular proteins that are necessary for viral synthesis.
Bacteria are cellular while viruses are non cellular .
Unlike organisms, viruses are not cellular, nor do they have ribosomes or any other organelles for protein production, energy generation, etc. They cannot capture or store free energy but can only use energy derived from their host. Also, viruses can only reproduce via the host and not on their own.
Part of the definition of a living thing is that it can reproduce itself, which a virus can't do. Bacteria reproduce like any other cellular organism: by cellular division. Viruses, however, can not reproduce themselves. Instead, they infect other cells and force those to make more viruses.
