16^th International Virology Summit

Viruses are like hijackers. They permeate living, normal cells and use those cells to increase exponentially and produce other viruses like themselves. This can kill, damage, or change the cells and cause you to sick. Different viruses attack certain cells in your body like your liver, systema respiratorium, or blood.
Treatment of viral infections is quite difficult. For most viral infections, treatment can only help with symptoms it is host immune system which fight off the virus. Antibiotics do not work for viral infections. Antiviral agents are effective in treatment of viral infections. Vaccines can prevent from getting many viral diseases.
