No, diverticulitis is not a virus; it is an inflammation or infection of small pouches, called diverticula, that can form in the walls of the colon. This condition often arises from a diet low in fiber, leading to constipation and increased pressure in the colon. While infections can occur in the diverticula, diverticulitis itself is primarily associated with dietary and lifestyle factors rather than viral causes.
