Over the past couple of weeks we have been working on viruses. My group had made a video on them (see on past post). Here is some information on viruses:
They are a non-living pathogen that needs a host cell to live in. Some examples of the virus are, Rhino Virus (cold), Small Pox (small pox), and Influenza (flu). Viruses cause Hepatitis B, aids, HIV, Cold, Flu, Chicken Pox, Small Pox, and Yellow fever. Viruses are much smaller than protist and bacteria. You can only see them under a electron microscope. They are a nano-meter. They get inside the human body be sneezing, coughing, exchange of saliva, touching, animal bites, and insect bites.They attack cells by injecting their DNA into the cell making them to produce many viruses, ruining millions of cells because viruses over work them.
