Much like a cell, a virus is able to grow and reproduce in large numbers

A virus is a microscopic nonliving parasite that only reproduces inside the cells of living hosts. Like cells, viruses have the ability to grow and reproduce within the host cell. When a virus infects a host cell, it injects its genetic material into the cell and forces the host cell to produce thousands of similar copies of the original virus.
