Sputnik an suggest that they can infect other viruses, too. 4 A virus called HTLV, which has coevolved with humans for thousands of years, is being used to uncover prehistoric migration patterns. 5 Viruses do not have a membrane as all other cells do, and rely on host cells to survive.

6 A virus may lie dormant for many years, yet, when it comes in contact with a suitable living cell, an amazing thing happens. The tiny virus particle 'hijacks' the host cell and 'forces' it to make hundreds of copies of itself

7 There are hundreds of different kinds of viruses, and theyre constantly changing 8 Plants get viruses, too 9 Other viruses, such as the virus that causes rabies, are helical (rod shaped). 10 A lipid -containing envelope is a common feature of animal viruses, but uncommon in plant viruses. 11 Some viruses have compound structures 12 The head of the T4 bacterial virus (bacteriophage) is icosahedral and is attached via a collar to a contractile.
