    Viruses are found everywhere on Earth and can infect all forms of life by taking over host cells. They are found in soil, water, air, and anywhere cells exist. While viruses can infect a wide range of organisms, each virus type is usually specialized to infect specific cell types of plants, animals, fungi or bacteria. Some viruses may not cause illness in one organism but can in closely related ones. Common viral diseases include chickenpox, influenza, herpes, HIV/AIDS, and HPV. Chickenpox can spread through carriers even after symptoms disappear.

    What is virus

    From book(pg.34) virus- their host cells.

    Where are they found


    Viruses are found on or in just about every material and
    environment on Earth from soil to water to air. They're basically
    found anywhere there are cells to infect. Viruses have evolved to
    infect every form of life, from animal to plant and from fungi to
    bacteria.

    However, viruses tend to be somewhat picky about what type of


    cells they infect. Plant viruses are not equipped to infect animal
    cells, for example, though a certain plant virus could infect a
    number of related plants. Sometimes, a virus may infect one
    creature and do no harm, but cause havoc when it gets into a
    different but closely enough related creature.

    Diseases caused by viruses


    Chickenpox
    Flu (influenza)
    Herpes
    Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV/AIDS)
