A virus is a non cellular particle made up of a protein coat enclosing the nucleic acid.

When a virus invades a cell, it takes over the machinery of the cell to produce new virus.

Virus may cause diseases by destroying the cell membranes of the host cells or stopping the synthesis of nucleic acids or proteins in the host.
