Chapter 13, Problem 3SA
Summary Introduction
To answer:
The difficulties in treating viral infection.
Introduction:
The viruses are obligate organisms that show signs of life only inside a host. Outside the host, they either die or do not show any sign of life. They invade the host cell to carry out their function like replication. A particular virus infects a particular host cell. The invaded host cell acts as machinery for the viruses.
