    Viruses are microscopic particles that can invade living cells. They have genetic material surrounded by a protein coat and in some cases a membrane. Viruses must infect a host cell to reproduce, using the host cell's machinery to produce more viruses which are then released to infect other cells. Vaccines and antibiotics can be used to control and prevent the spread of viral diseases, with vaccines administered prior to exposure and antibiotics not effective against viruses as they are not technically alive.
