Viruses can grow in various tissues and cells throughout the body, depending on their specific type and mode of infection. Common sites include the respiratory tract (for viruses like influenza and COVID-19), the gastrointestinal tract (such as norovirus), and the bloodstream (as seen with HIV). They typically invade host cells, hijacking the cellular machinery to replicate and spread. Infected cells can lead to localized symptoms or systemic illness, depending on the virus and the body's immune response.
