Five important points of virus:
- A virus is a small collection of genetic code, either DNA or RNA, surrounded by a protein coat. A virus cannot replicate alone.
- Viruses must infect cells and use components of the host cell to make copies of themselves.
- Often, they kill the host cell in the process, and cause damage to the host organism.
- Viruses have been found everywhere on Earth.
- Researchers estimate that viruses outnumber bacteria by 10 to 1.
