What are viruses?

 

Viruses are also very small and are much simpler than bacteria. In order for viruses to multiply or reproduce, they need to take over a 'host' cell, such as in a plant, animal or human.

 

There are some viruses that are helpful to human bodies, such as those used in vaccinations, but the vast majority of them cause disease.

 

Examples of viruses are:

 

Viruses Responsible for
Influenza virus, H1N1 Flu.
Rotavirus Sickness and diarrhoea.
Rhinovirus Coughs and colds.
Human Herpes Virus 1 Chicken pox (see www.itchi.co.uk for more information) and cold sores.
Respiratory Syncytial virus (RSV) Infection of the lungs and breathing passages, in particular of infants.
