a virus
Main difference is that viruses can only reproduce by hijacking living cells. No cells, no viral reproduction. It rewires the cell to produce more copies of itself, then makes the cell self-destruct sending out the copies. Cellular reproduction is in a category of its own.
The cell infected by a virus is referred to as the host cell. The virus hijacks the host cell's machinery to replicate and produce more virus particles.
The genetic material of a virus, either DNA or RNA, is injected into an infected cell. This genetic material contains the instructions needed for the virus to hijack the cell's machinery and replicate itself.
Interferon is a protein released by cells infected by a virus that triggers neighboring cells to heighten their anti-viral defenses. Interferon helps protect uninfected cells from viral reproduction by activating their immune response, making it harder for the virus to spread. This immune response can include activating natural killer cells to destroy infected cells and inhibiting viral replication within cells.
The cells could have all been produced via asexual reproduction from a single virus cell, or have been rroduced for by normal reproduction. In this sense, the daughter cells would contain the same nucleic aid, as they come from the same virus cell.
The components of a virus that is injected into the infected cell is either the RNA or DNA. A virus is composed of two parts a nucleic acid part and a protein part.
Malaria parasites undergo sexual reproduction in the mosquito vector. When a mosquito bites an infected person, it ingests male and female gametocytes. These gametocytes fuse in the mosquito gut to form zygotes, which eventually develop into sporozoites, restarting the cycle of transmission.
start by defining infected...infected with what?

they must find a host cell in the infected body and take it over to force it to replicate
Yes, viruses replicate by invading host cells and using their cellular machinery to produce copies of themselves. This replication process can lead to the spread of the virus to other cells or individuals.
