The ability of a pathogen to affect cells
I don't know! Why are you asking me?????
The virulent strain of the virus spread rapidly through the community, causing severe illness and a high mortality rate.
Virulent means actively poisonous. You could use it in a sentence as, "the man had a virulent snake bite."
A virion is a complete virus particle outside a host cell, consisting of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat known as a capsid. Virions are the infectious form of a virus that can transmit its genetic material to infect a host cell and replicate.
During the cycle of viral shedding, the virus has made copies of itself and the host cell is no longer useful. The host cell then dies, and the new virus cells then must find a new host.
A virus that kills its host is said to be virulent. Virulent viruses can cause serious illness or death in their host organisms.
A virulent virus is a virus that has severe symptoms and is usually a dangerous disease. A temperate virus is a less violent sickness that may show little to no symptoms.

Yes, chickenpox virus is virulent. 90% of household contacts to chickenpox will become ill if they weren't already immune.
A virus which invades a cell can be said to be virulent. One that causes the host cell to immediately produce virus' particles and lose it's ability to live is said to be a lytic virus. A virus that remains "silent" for awhile is called a lysogenic virus.
It won't hurt; the flu vaccine is non-virulent and won't lower your immune system while it makes antibodies to the influenza virus. It will still be able to fight off the Bell's Palsy virus (herpes).

The antonyms of virulent: gentle; kind; nice; harmless; healthy; nonpoisonous
From bacteria - Campylobacter, generally from under-cooked chicken or cross-contamination of food by raw chicken.One of the biggest cause of foodborne illnesses is a virus - Norovirus, aka Norwalk virus or Calicivirus. It is quite virulent and is transmitted easily.
Pestilence is presence of an infectious epidemic that is very virulent, devastating, and usually fatal. Although it is spreading quickly and is now at pandemic proportions, so far Swine Flu (A-H1N1/09 Virus) is a mild influenza with low mortality rates. Since viruses mutate quickly, there is still the risk that will happen and the virus will change into a more virulent form.
