There is no conscious decision made by a virus in selecting a host. Probability and statistics determine who contracts a virus and who doesn't.

Viruses that cause lysis of their hosts are called?
I don't know! Why are you asking me?????
Why do viruses typically affect only one or a few species?
Viruses attack animals, plants, fungi, protists, and bacteria. Some viruses can infect only specific kinds of cells. For instance, many viruses, such as the potato leaf-roll virus, are limited to one host species or to one type of tissue within that species. A few viruses affect a broad range of hosts. An example of this is the rabies virus. Rabies can infect humans and many other animal hosts.
What are the difference between resident and non resident viruses?
A Nonresident is a computer virus that is not stored on the hard drive of the computer system. Rather, the virus makes a home in an executable file that infects a computer each time it is accessed and run. While Resident viruses do not search for hosts when they are started. Instead, a resident virus loads itself into memory on execution time and transfers control to the host program.
What is true viruses?
Viruses are cellular parasites.
Does heredity occur in viruses-?
Heredity does occur in viruses. When a virus replicates it carried it to the offspring.
Can viruses replicate themselfs?
yes but in hosts by tempering with hosts cell DNA/RNA
Do viruses move independently or dependently?
Some viruses can move parts of their body, but most viruses rely on their hosts.
Are viruses mobile or immobile?
Viruses are immobile. They can not move on their own, and rely on their hosts biological systems to move them around.
Do viruses have a carbohydrate store?
No. Virus need to rely on hosts to reproduce.
Can viruses lives live on their own?
Yes,they live in hosts only to reproduce.

Temperate viruses reproduce via the?
The lysogynistic cycle where they insert their DNA/RNA into the hosts genetic material for many rounds of their own replication along with the hosts replication.
Can PS3s pick up computer viruses?
No.
Why are most viruses highly specific to cells they infects?
viruses must bind precisely to proteins on the cell surface and than use a hosts genetic system, this is why most viruses are highly specific to the cells they infect

How do they pick the grey cup hosts each year?
The gray cup host is determined by bidding.
Name two features that distinguish viruses from bacteria?
All bacteria use their own ribosomes for protein synthesis while all viruses have to use their hosts' ribosomes. All bacteria have their own energy generation mechanisms (cellular respiration or photosynthesis) while all viruses have no intrinsic energy generation mechanisms.
