Animal viruses need a living host animal to survive, so this is why eggs are often used to grow them. It was show that the flu virus could be grown that way in 1931.

Cultivation of viruses in embryonated egg culture?
In clinical virology the use of embryonated eggs are frequently used because viruses need something living for the viruses characteristics to come out. It is frowned upon to use monkey and rats for this during school so embryonated eggs are the next best things.
From chicks to eggs how long?
Most chicks grow up and start laying eggs at about 20 week (5 months). This will vary by a week or two and the first eggs will usually be small and intermittent. Proper nutrition and husbandry (animal care) play a big role in this also.
Does chicken eggs and milk make you grow?
yes it makes you gorw
Is an animal a solid and frame?
Yes they have skin like us but grow fur on there skin
In animal cells microtubules grow from which structure?
centrosomes
What do cow and chickens have to do with the flu vaccine?
Chicken eggs are used as the medium to grow the viruses that are used in the preparation of the vaccine.
Why would viruses not grow on milk?
Viruses do not grow because they are not alive. They can reproduce, but only inside a host cell.
How do you make a bot fly?
You don't. They grow from eggs laid by female bot flies under the skin of an animal. When the eggs hatch maggots grow under the skin and then metamorphose into adult bot flies, which then cut their way out to emerge through the skin.
How often do ostriches lay eggs?
They do indeed, like all birds. Theirs just happen to be about as big as they get. yes they do lay eggs but the eggs then hatch making the ostrich grow into a full bird. I love ostriches so i should know this.
What is the chemical that interferes with how viruses grow?
Interferon
What is the Difference between a male and females reproductive system?
Depends on the animal, but in general male produces sperm, female produces eggs, and MAY hold fertilized eggs until they grow (but not always)

Where do plants grow eggs?
they grow in the mitosis
Microbiology If there were no plaques on your plate offer an explanation?
Because viruses cannot multiply without a host cell, they cannot be grown in sterile media the way bacteria can. Host cells must be provided for the virus to infect. Bacteriophage may be cultured with bacterial cells in liquid culture or on plates. To culture on plates, bacteria and bacteriophage are combined in melted agar and then poured into plates. The bacterial cells divide and evenly cover the surface of the plate forming a lawn. Wherever bacterial cells have been destroyed by the bacteriophage, clearings called plaques will appear in the lawn. Because it is harder to culture animal cells than it is for most bacteria, it is also more difficult to grow animal viruses in the lab. Some animal cells will grow in culture dishes much as bacteria do and will form a single layer on the bottom of a dish that contains a suitable growth medium. Viruses that can infect these cells can be grown along with them. Animal cells that are infected by the virus will display visible deterioration. Some viruses whose host cells can not be grown in culture can be grown in living animals such as rabbits, mice, and guinea pigs. Other viruses can be grown in fertilized chicken eggs. However, because some viral host ranges are highly specific, each virus infects only certain cell types, I cannot grow all cells in culture, yes grow all viruses.
Can parasites and virus grow in food?
no. . . Because parasites and viruses can only grow on living matters... There may be saprophytes and bacteria growing in your food. . . Even parasites and viruses can be there but can not grow. .
