How can virus be killed?
Viruses cannot be killed in the traditional sense like bacteria, as they are not considered living organisms. However, they can be effectively neutralized and destroyed through methods such as proper hand hygiene, disinfecting surfaces, and through antiviral medications or vaccines designed to target specific viruses.
Are viruses nonliving?
Viruses are generally considered nonliving because they cannot carry out essential life processes on their own, such as metabolism or reproduction. They require a host cell to replicate and carry out their life cycle.
Who study viruses?
Viruses have the ability to greatly affect life on earth. Many viruses, such as HIV and influenza have killed millions of people. By studying viruses, scientists are able to develop vaccines that will protect people (and animals) from viruses.
Differences between bacteria and virus?
Bacteria are single-celled organisms that can reproduce on their own, while viruses are not cells and rely on a host cell to reproduce. Bacteria are larger in size than viruses and can be treated with antibiotics, whereas viruses are smaller and are typically treated with antiviral medication. Bacteria are living organisms with their own cellular machinery, whereas viruses are considered non-living as they require a host cell to replicate.
How are computer viruses similar to and different from biological viruses?
Both types:are spread by contact with a contaminated sourcecan be blocked with defensescan be modified and weaponisedcan go away after a time if certain measures are takencan kill whatever they infectcan change over timecan be costlyDifferences:computer viruses only work in a computer hostbiological viruses only work in a biological hostbiological viruses can spontaneously mutatecomputer viruses are createdbiological viruses are far more complex
What happens to viruses when you take antibiotics?
Viruses are Not killed with antibiotics need antivirus antibiotics
What causes viruses to die or be killed?
Your white blood cells, they fight off infections and viruses.
Which microbe can't be killed by antibiotics?

What are solutions of killed or weakened viruses?
One such example would be a vaccine for viral illnesses. They can be made from attenuated (weakened) viruses or from inactivated viruses or pieces of them.
Why do we study viruses?

Why are antibiotics unhelpful for fighting a common cold?
B. Colds are caused by viruses, and antibiotics only kill bacteria
Can a virus be killed by disinfectant?
Some viruses can be killed with disinfectants and some disinfectants can kill viruses. However, many viruses are spore formers so they go dormant instead of dying in unfavorable conditions.For H1N1 disinfectants for hard surfaces see the related link below.
Are viruses easily killed by drugs or an antibiotics?
The answer is no. Viruses are not affected by antibiotics. As always, do your research and you will find that the CDC agrees. [related links]
Which type of microbe can be killed by an antibiotic?

What is the sickness that is not killed by antibiotics?
Viruses are not killed by antibiotics; there are also other types of sickness, such as cancer, which cannot be killed by antibiotics. Antibiotics are only useful for treating bacterial infections.
Can viruses kill cells?
Yes. Viruses' only aim is to reproduce; if they invade a cell and are not killed off, they will continue replicating themselves until the cell bursts.
What are the differences between viruses and bacteria?
Bacteria: Bacteria can be killed by antibiotics. Bacteria is larger. Bacteria can reproduce from the life cycle. Viruses: Viruses cant be killed by antibiotics. Viruses are smaller than bacteria. Viruses cant reproduce without help from a host cell or organism.
