Viruses can target various parts of the host body depending on their type. For example, respiratory viruses like influenza primarily infect the respiratory tract, including the nose, throat, and lungs. Other viruses, such as HIV, target the immune system by attacking CD4+ T cells, while gastrointestinal viruses like norovirus infect the intestinal lining. Each virus has specific receptors that allow it to enter and replicate within particular cell types.

What is extreme amplification?
Amplification is when a virus multiplies through the body of the host. Extreme amplification multiplies the virus exponentially within the host.
What is the habitat of a virus?
Viruses do not have a habitat in the traditional sense, as they are not considered living organisms. They require a host cell to replicate and survive. Once inside a host, viruses can exist in various parts of the body, depending on the type of virus and its specific target cells.
How does a virus grow and develop within a host organism?
A virus grows and develops within a host organism by attaching to host cells, entering them, and using the host's cellular machinery to replicate itself. This process can lead to the virus spreading throughout the host's body and causing infection.
How virus make humans sick?
Because a virus goes and attack a host body cell, making a person feel bad.
What happens to the HIV genetic material after enter into the host body?
It has to enter the host DNA and "make" the host DNA make the virus parts. To do this the RNA that the virus contains has to be able to enter into the cell nucleus and take over the host DNA. It carries an enzyme called reverse transcriptase to complete this. See the link below for a very good idea of how it works:
What is the cell in which a virus reproduces?
This is called a host cell. In the beginning, a virus will attach itself to the host cell and release its genetic material into it. This genetic material interferes with the host cell's enzymes which cause them to form parts in which will create a new virus.
What can a virus affect not a computer virus?
well it depends what kind of virus or talking about different viruses attack different places but overall if they are not taken care of they can affect everywhere in a human body first of viruses attack the immune system like white blood cells and that kinda stuff then if they cannot defend against the virus it spreads to other places like other cells tissues and organs why this is is because a virus needs a host and cannot reproduce unless it has a host meaning it cannot make copies of itself unless of the host the virus then takes over the cell and uses it to produce after the cell is filled with copies of the virus it burst and the virus emerge and began this process again on another cell if not treated the virus can take over mostly anywhere
How does the west nile virus attack the host cell?
The West Nile virus enters host cells by binding to specific cell surface receptors that allow it to gain entry. Once inside the cell, it replicates its genetic material and produces viral proteins, disrupting normal cellular functions. This can lead to cell death and the release of new virus particles to infect neighboring cells.
What parts of a virus allow it to attach to a cell?
The proteins in the capsid allow the virus to attach to the "docking stations" proteins of the host cell.
How does an active(lytic) virus multiply?
An active virus, like all viruses has to "hijack" a host cell's DNA and then that DNA makes virus parts instead of cell parts. When the cell is full of the virus parts, it ruptures and dies. The viruses find other cells and repeat the cycle.
