A pneumotropic virus primarily invades the respiratory system, targeting cells in the lungs and airways. These viruses can cause respiratory illnesses by infecting epithelial cells, leading to inflammation and various symptoms such as cough, fever, and difficulty breathing. Common examples include influenza viruses and coronaviruses, which can spread through respiratory droplets.
