Viruses (biological)

Not a direct cause. However, the virus that does cause flu is present in the environment and that is one way it spreads by our contact with the virions (virus particles) on objects and surfaces in the environment from others' coughs and sneezes (along with direct contact with infected individuals).

There is another link between the environment and the incidences of influenza infections, too. That is that the flu likes the environment dry. In the northern hemisphere, our flu season occurs in the fall and winter. The latest info has it that there is a flu season because, at that time of year, the absolute humidity is low, making the type of dry environment that allows more activity by the viruses that cause the flu.

See the related question about why flu has a season on this page.

a virus that causes the common cold

Stress can make a virus worse than it currently is, and can even activate a dormant virus.

A virus that is hiding and not doing anything is considered to be in what scientists call the lysogenic cycle. Stress can cause a virus in the lysogenic cycle to advance to the lytic cycle, which is the state at which the virus advances and actually takes effect.

Viruses need a living host for reproduction. They, themselves, are not alive, so they must have a living host to provide the material to use for building duplicates, as well as for the energy to use in the production.

Yes, preventing the specific attachment of a virus to its host cells can be an effective way to prevent infection. By blocking the receptors on the host cell that the virus recognizes for attachment, the virus is unable to enter the cell and replicate, thus reducing the likelihood of infection. This can be achieved through various means, such as developing drugs or vaccines that target the attachment process.

Viruses are infectious particles. In many cases, they can cause deadly diseases. They are not part of the scheme of living things but are important in the problems they can cause. Some are useful. One type causes mottled colors in tulips.

Walking pneumonia is not caused by a virus, but rather by a type of bacteria called Mycoplasma pneumoniae. It is considered active because it can cause symptoms similar to pneumonia, such as a persistent cough, fever, and fatigue. Treatment typically involves antibiotics to target the bacterial infection.

Viruses are one of the most common living thing in the world, and most of them have positive or neutral effects on any specific species.

They are important in the growing world of genetic modification because scientists can use their native capacity to penetrate the cells to deliver genetic material into cells while causing little harm.

This virus is sometimes called a slow virus because it can be latent-like. It doesn't mean that it is in this form when it takes a few days to show symptoms after infection. This in called incubation.

This form in measles stays in latency up to 10 years and will show then as a progressive brain disease and finally death.

Since viruses aren't currently considered to be fully alive, they are not part of the traditional Kingdom-Phylum-etc. taxonomic rankings.

They use a parallel classification system, which starts at the level of Order and continues down to Species. Please see the related link below.

Viruses have a particular character that they need a living host to survive or they cannot otherwise live. Generally viruses have a capsid which has its viral RNA enclosed in it. Capsid is covered by thick membrane.

Reverse transcriptase is an enzyme found in retroviruses, which are a type of virus. It plays a key role in converting the virus's RNA genome into DNA for integration into the host cell's genome.

In the lysogenic cycle, the virus's genetic material integrates into the host's genome and remains dormant, only activating later to enter the lytic cycle. The lytic cycle involves the virus immediately taking over the host cell's machinery to replicate and destroy the host cell to release new viral particles.

Similar to popular methods of cryptography, an encrypted virus scrambles its programming code to make it difficult to crack. One of the most common forms of this infection is identified by the Polymorphic Virus. Aside from containing an encryption that hides it from detection, it also decrypts itself to spread the virus throughout the system. This type of encrypted virus is difficult for anti-virus software to detect because the infection generates a completely different decryption pattern every time it corrupts an executable file. It is important for a user to make sure that their security scanning application is configured to check ALL FILES, even those that are archived and encrypted. When the option is available, it is best to use a security tool that enables the installation of configurations for ALL USERS instead of CURRENT user. This option will use advanced methods of decryption even when an encrypted virus returns an error message on the scanner.Virus Profile: KOH

Smallpox is an infectious disease unique to humans, caused by either of two virus variants, Variola major and Variola minor

Symptoms of the fictional Motaba virus, as depicted in the movie "Outbreak," include fever, headache, muscle aches, vomiting, and diarrhea. In severe cases, it can progress to internal bleeding and organ failure. However, it's important to note that the Motaba virus is not a real virus.

They do not reproduce asexually or sexually. Viruses need a host like a cell in order to reproduce. In the dormant state, they are virions, and considered to be nonliving.

However, in their active state, as viruses, they are considered to be living organisms.

Rabies virus is a RNA virus, specifically a negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus.

no because some are more adaptable like the swine flu. but most can only affect specific species as each species have a unique number of chromosomes making it hard for viruses to spread from different species.

Some of the famous books by Allama Iqbal include "Bang-e-Dra," "Zarb-e-Kaleem," and "Bal-e-Jibril." These books are renowned for their philosophical and poetic content, exploring themes of spirituality, self-discovery, and the rejuvenation of the Islamic world.

The Mumps virus is characterized by swelling of the parotid glands, salivary glands and other epithelial tissues, causing high morbidity (illness) and in some cases more serious complications such as deafness or damage to the testes.

The only way viruses can replicate ("reproduce") is to take over the cells of a living host.

Bacteriophages ARE viruses that attack bacteria, making this question invalid.

But if they meant to say "what bacteria does it attack?" then I would say T4 and E. Coli

A complete virus particle is also known as a virion. It consists of genetic material (RNA or DNA) enclosed in a protein coat called a capsid.
