a virus is able to replicate itself bu taking over the metabolic activities of the cell it infects essentially saying stop what you are suppose to do and make copies of me. so the virus actually doesn't replicate itself but rather the cell in which it infects does it for it. this occurs during the lytic phase of the virus. sometimes the virus "hides" by incorporating itself within the dna of the cell it infects(causing certain cancers) until it is releases itself and says make me. this dormant phase is called lysogenic.
There is no other living thing that requires a virus in order to reproduce.
A virus is an organism that can reproduce only inside a host cell. They hijack the cellular machinery of the host cell to replicate their genetic material and produce new virus particles.
A virus needs a host cell to reproduce, so it enters a host cell(living cell e.g bacteria) and releases genatic materials which enslave the the cell and reproduce.
A basic characteristic of a virus is that it cannot survive or reproduce on its own. It requires a host cell to replicate and multiply.
Since a virus can only replicate on a living cell, host cell, it wouldn't be able to reproduce.
A virus does not need a crystal to reproduce, as they are not living organisms and do not have cellular machinery to perform reproduction. However, a virus does need a host cell to replicate and produce new virus particles.

Schizophrenia is not caused by a virus or bacteria--it does not and cannot "reproduce". Because it is not caused by a virus or bacteria, it is also not "contagious".
a Cell
Nothing reproduces inside a virus. It has to latch on the a host cell and insert its' DNA or RNA and then make the host cell reproduce virus particles.
All viruses do that. That's what makes a virus a virus.
A virus cannot reinvent itself without the help of a 'hosts' living cell. Once the virus invades the living cell it takes over the mechanism of reproduction using the cells enzymes and other chemical to reproduce. Therefore a virus cannot reproduce independently. Once the host cell is compromised the virus is free to infect other cells in the living organism.
I believe its the saliva glands.
Virus
A foodborne virus can only reproduce inside the body of a living host, such as a human or animal. Once ingested, the virus can multiply in the host's cells and cause illness.

No. They can only reproduce through taking control of a host cell.
