Rhinoviruses primarily infect epithelial cells of the upper respiratory tract. These cells line the nasal passages and throat, facilitating the virus's entry and replication, which leads to common cold symptoms. The virus attaches to specific receptors on these cells, initiating the infection process.
What else can I help you with?
Can a specific virus adhere to and infect any type of cell?
no it cannot
Is it true that a specific virus can adhere to and infect any type of cell?
false
Can a virus infect any type of cell?
Yes.It infects fungi,plants,animals and bacterias
Are viruses able to infect all cell?
No, viruses cannot infect all cells; they are specific to certain host organisms and cell types. Each virus has a specific set of host cells it can infect, determined by the presence of compatible receptors on the cell surface and the virus's mechanisms for entering the cell. This specificity means that while some viruses can infect a wide range of species, others are restricted to a particular host or cell type.
What cells are infected by the human immunodeficiency virus considering that most viruses infect a specific kind of cell?
HIV primarily infects CD4+ T cells, which are a type of white blood cell that plays a key role in the immune system. Additionally, the virus can also infect macrophages, another type of immune cell that helps protect the body against infections.
What is the difference between a virus and lentivirus?
Well, a virus refers both lysogenic and lytic varieties. A lentivirus is a family of viruses that follow the lysogenic model of infection where the genetic information of the virus is integrated into the host cell's genome. What makes the lentivirus useful as a vector in genetic research is that it is the only type of virus capable of penetrating the nucleus, that is, it can infect the host's genome at any point in the cell cycle where every other lysogenic virus can only infect during phases of the cell cycle that see the nucleus broken down.
What type of virus infect bacteria?
Bacteriophage
Are viruses devoid of any biochemical machinery and thus behave like dead particles inside the cell?
viruses behave like dead particles out of the cell and in specific out its particular cell. Once inside its cell, the virus uses the cell's machinery to "come alive" it then begins to reproduce and infect other of the same type of cell.
What is bateriophage?
A bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects and replicates within bacteria. It injects its genetic material into a bacterial cell, hijacks the cell's machinery to produce more phages, and eventually causes the cell to burst, releasing new phages to infect other cells. Bacteriophages have potential applications in treating bacterial infections as an alternative to antibiotics.
This type of self-replicating program uses a script engine to attack and infect a host file?
Macro-virus
What type of self-replication program uses a scripting engine to attack and infect a host file?
macro-virus
Is bactera a type of virus?
No, a bacterium is a complete, albeit single-celled organism; as such it can locomote, reproduce, and perform the other functions common to independently living things. A virus, OTOH, is a strand of DNA incapable of reproducing on its own (to do that, it's got to invade/infect a host cell).
