The virus needs to speak the molecular language of cells. This is how he manages to dominate and enslave them so that they become factories for new viruses, producing the proteins that the infectious agent requires to assemble its descendants. If this conversation is not fine-tuned, even if the virus has the key and enters, it is doomed to failure.

<h3>Why does a virus lethal to us not infect animals?</h3>

For a virus to be able to enter a cell, it must have the right key. And this key, which are the proteins on the surface of viruses, has to enter the correct lock, the receptors that are on the cell membrane. Cells are actually houses with many different doors and locks. Some viruses have keys that open the lock of any cell and any kind of host, and others do not, so the infection caused by viruses is specific.

With this information, we can conclude that some viruses have keys that open the lock of any cell and any kind of host, and others do not, so the infection caused by viruses is specific.

Explanation:

Africa, Madagascar, Asia, and the New World are the geographic regions have numerous fossil primate discoveries. Fossil primates to be rare in the temperate regions because only a small fraction of the primates that have ever lived has been preserved as fossils due to of climatic and geological conditions of the region. The strepsirhines like fossil primate containing wet-nosed primates, whereas haplorhines like fossil primate containing dry-nosed primates. These traits suggest that the living primates are evolved from these extent primates so that's why they are classified in the same phylum.
