Viruses cannot be formed as such. They are present everywhere. Some of them are harmful and cause diseases. If our body comes in contact to those disease causing viruses, they attack our body and enter inside. Virus is a type of organism that cannot reproduce freely. They always need a host cell where they inject their genetic materials. These genes replicate inside the host cell and give rise to several viruses inside the cell. The cell finally gets ruptured and the viruses spread out into the body in search of other cells to attack and reproduce.
