Viruses are organisms causing viral diseases in host organisms that result in wide-ranging symptoms and health conditions. Viruses infect humans, animals, plants, and other living organisms. These viruses have the ability to attack specific cells within the human body. Depending on the virus and where the virus strikes in the human body, different symptoms are presented. Examples of common viral diseases include common cold, influenza, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, chickenpox, and COVID-19. Some of these viral infections resolve on their own, but severe complications may develop or be fatal. Replication of viruses: The replication of viruses requires taking over the host cell machinery for the purpose of producing its genetic material and virus particles. In this process, the infected cells may get destroyed or damaged. It is quite necessary for MDCAT students to know about viral diseases for responding to questions in the topic pathogenesis, mode of transmission, and treatment available in the study of microbiology and virology.
