True, viruses are often riddle to scientists. It is neither living nor nonliving (in other words exhibits the property of both - reproduces inside a living cell but remains dormant until it finds a living cell), it is neither a prokaryote nor a eukaryote (although the absence of a well defined nucleus categorizes it as a prokaryote, none of its other features go with being a prokaryote). They are simple in structure but highly complicated in nature/function. They manipulate the most complex of the host cellular processes by the simplest of ways. They are capable of undergoing mutation at a very fast rate.

No. A virus needs only a host body to survive. This is the reason many scientists can't decide whether or not a virus should be considered 'alive.'
What can stress do to a virus?
Stress can make a virus worse than it currently is, and can even activate a dormant virus. A virus that is hiding and not doing anything is considered to be in what scientists call the lysogenic cycle. Stress can cause a virus in the lysogenic cycle to advance to the lytic cycle, which is the state at which the virus advances and actually takes effect.

Why are scientists using eggs to develop the swine flu vaccine?
To make vaccine for a program of vaccinations in a population group, first the scientists need a certain amount of the virus that can be turned into the weakened version of the virus to use in the vaccination. Since viruses are not really alive, and since they need a host to provide cells to do the work of their reproduction for them, the scientists give them the egg as the host and, just like the virus makes our bodies do when we catch a cold or flu, it will make the egg cells do the same thing to make more virus particles so the scientists can grow a supply from which to make the vaccine.For a full explanation of this process, see the related link section below.
