What we know about viruses?
Viruses are biological entities that can only thrive and multiply in a host, which is a living organism such as a human, an animal, or a plant. Some viruses cause living organisms response to invasion, which we consider a disease.
Viruses vary in form and complexity.
They consist of genetic material, DNA or RNA, with a coat of protein around it, called capsid. Some have an additional coat called envelope.
Viruses invade living normal cells and use those cells to multiply and produce other viruses like themselves. This can kill, damage, or change the cells and make you sick. Different viruses attack certain cells in your body such as your liver, respiratory system, or blood.
