What do you call a cell that has been infected with a virus?

It is called a host cell. The virus attaches to the cell and injects its DNA into the cell. The virus's DNA overruns the "instructions" that the cell has and "tells" the cell to make copies of the virus using the DNA. Then the cell makes so many copies of the virus, that it explodes. The new viruses then go on to attach to other cells.

How does a host living cell face with an enemy virus?

A virus and a cell have to have matching "docking" proteins for the virus to invade. Otherwise the virus is blocked.


How does a virus affect humans?

When a virus takes over the machinery of a cell?

When a virus takes over a cell's machinery, it hijacks the cell's resources to replicate itself. The virus uses the cell's machinery to produce more copies of the virus, eventually leading to cell damage or death. This process can contribute to the spread of the virus throughout the body.
