The host cell does not benefit from having a virus. The virus usually kills it.
The most common threat posed by an invading virus to a host organism is the potential for the virus to hijack the host's cellular machinery to replicate itself, leading to the destruction of host cells and tissues. This can result in various symptoms of infection and overactivation of the host's immune response, which can cause further damage to the host organism.
targeting structures found only in bacterial cells and not the host cells
destruction of cells by viral reproduction
Pathogens need body tissue to infect and warmth and moisture to grow.
Yes
When a virus infects a host cell, it hijacks the cell's machinery to replicate its own genetic material and proteins instead of the host cell's. This often leads to disruption of the host cell's normal protein synthesis processes, which can prevent the cell from making its own proteins.
A commensal parasite. This type of parasite benefits from the host organism without causing harm or benefit to the host.
A parasite.
In most cases the parasite is getting the benefit. While sometimes they both benefit, it is rare for the host to be the only one of the two organisms to gain benefit.
Rickettsia is an intracellular bacteria that obtains nutrients by invading host cells and utilizing host cell nutrients for its own metabolic processes. It is able to survive and replicate within host cells by acquiring amino acids, nucleotides, and other essential molecules from the host cell cytoplasm.
i dont know , thats why i am asking
