  1. virus infection

    A virus infection is a condition or disease process caused by a virus, a type of microscopic pathogen that invades healthy cells in a host organism, such as a human, animal, or plant. Viruses reproduce by taking control of the host cell's machinery and instructing it to replicate the viral genetic material. These new viruses then leave the cell, often destroying it in the process, and proceed to infect other cells. This leads to symptoms of illness, disease, or dysfunction in the host organism. Common virus infections include the flu, colds, HIV, herpes, and COVID-19.
