Survival and reproduction are important to any organism, even viruses, who are not considered biotic (living). Viruses just have less necessary life functions than other large animals you may know of.

How can you can create a new operator through operator overloading?

You cannot create any new operators in C++. You can only overload the existing ones (although some, such as sizeof, new and delete cannot be overloaded). The only way to create a new operator is to implement it as a standard function with a named identifier. For instance, sqrt() is the standard library function that provides the square root operator, for which no real operator exists.

Treatment for human distemper?

There is no such thing as a Human Distemper Virus. The Canine Distemper Virus is only transferable from dog to dog. It is, however, similar to the human virus the Measles. The only way the Canine Distemper Virus would ever transfer to humans is if the virus would be given "new instructions", and mutate. Antibiotics do not work on virus' so there is no cure to CDV, only prevention (by vaccination).


Where does a virus form?

A virus forms when its genetic material (RNA or DNA) replicates inside the host cell, using the host cell's machinery to create new virus particles. These new virus particles then exit the host cell to infect other cells and continue the infection cycle.


What organism that can reproduce only inside a host cell?

A virus is an organism that can reproduce only inside a host cell. They hijack the cellular machinery of the host cell to replicate their genetic material and produce new virus particles.


Why do anti viruses sometimes lie?

Anti-virus programs don't 'lie' as such - but they cannot find EVERY virus, as new ones are being written daily. An anti-virus program is only as good as its virus database.


Can mutation allow a virus to cross into a new species?

Rather more easily than mutations in your genome! A virus which may have only a few hundred genes can have large changes in function from just one mutation and can be then accounted a new "species " as progeny inherit the mutation. ( as much as one counts viruses as species )
