How can viruses be helpful?
Viruses that are harmless to humans can be used to infect bacteria or other pests eg rabbits
What organisms do aids infect usually?
HIV infects only humans. There are similar viruses that affect other species.
Are all viruses dangerous?
Not all but some do. If a person has a contagious virus then stay away from them. Some travel only buying eating raw meat or poisoned food or dirty water. Another science question d by the wizzo!
Are viruses general or specific to the cells that they infect?
viruses are specific to the cells they infect called host cells
Why could a virus not infect another virus?
Viruses only infect living organisms and since they are not alive, they can not infect other viruses. The question is interesting though.
Do viruses infect other species beside humans?
Yes, they do.

What do viruses that cause physical diseases infect?
It depends on what kind of virus. Viruses can infect any cell in the human body. Viruses such as HIV infect the immune system; air-born viruses, such as H1N1 or a cold, infect the respiratory system; neurological viruses, like rabies infect the brain (the virus is usually carried to it by peripheral nerves); and viruses like polio effect the nervous system, which can create paralysis.

Dogs and humans have different immune systems and cellular receptors, so viruses that can infect one species may not be able to infect the other. Additionally, genetic differences between species can affect virus transmission and replication within host cells.
