The human immunodeficiency virus may infect what cells?
sperm cells
Does HIV initially infect cells of the nervous system?
HIV, the human immuno-deficiency virus, does not infect nerve cells, it infects white blood cells. (false)
What cells are infected by the human immunodeficiency virus considering that most viruses infect a specific kind of cell?
T-cells.
What are three viruses and bacteria?
viruses: Human Pampiloma Virus, Tobacco Mosaic Virus, Human Immunodeficiency Virus Bacteria: Escherichia Coli, Bacillus Megaterium, Staphylococcus Aureus
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.

Why do dogs not catch your cold?
The common cold in humans is caused by rhinovirus, which is pretty specific to humans. There are other strains of rhinovirus that infect dogs, but those strains don't infect humans. The barrier for this is the type of protein on the surface of the cells of the upper respiratory tract - there are different proteins on human cells than there are on canine cells. The virus is very well adapted to only one species, so a human-adapted rhinovirus can only infect humans while a canine-adapted rhinovirus can only infect dogs.
What human cell is attacked by HIV?
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) seems to only infect the CD4 (or T-helper) cells of the immune system. The CD4 cells are responsible for activating and directing other immune system cells. HIV also infects macrophages and microglial cells that express the CD4 molecule on their surface. The virus can also infect a subtype of myeloid dendritic cells MDC-1.

How do you describe the reproduction of polio in the body?
Polio virus can infect only human being. Like other viruses, polio virus infect the cells. After getting attached to the cell, the virus genome is inserted into the cell body. The genetic material of the host is broken into small fragments and assembled as per the genome of the polio virus. Multiple such copies are formed and then released in the body to infect the new cells.
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.
The mosaic effect in human females can be observed in?
