A given virus can infect a limited range of cell types, often specific to certain hosts or tissues. This specificity is largely determined by the virus's surface proteins, which must match receptors on the host cell's membrane. For example, some viruses may infect only certain types of animal cells, while others may target specific plant or bacterial cells. Overall, the diversity of cells a virus can infect varies widely between different viruses.
