Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 5WIO
Rhinoviruses replicate in the mucus-producing cells in a person's nose, throat, and lungs, causing the common cold. Papillomaviruses, which infect skin cells, cause growth s called warts. HIV infects T cell s and causes AIDS. How do these three types of viruses "know" which human cells to infect?

Students have asked these similar questions
You have a discussion among friends about viruses that can cause latent and chronic infections in humans.
The first friend says that an example for latent infections in humans are
oral
and genital
herpes caused by
herpes
simplex virus and that examples of viruses causing chronic infections are Hepatitis C and HIV.
The second friend says oral and genital herpes as well as chickenpox/ shingles are chronic infections and that HIV is an
example for a virus causing a latent infection.
O The first person is correct
O The second person is correct
Poxviruses are considered unique among the DNA viruses. Where do poxviruses, such as variola or
vaccinia, replicate within an infected host cell?
People with herpes simplex type 1 viruses often getmouth sores when they have a cold or similar infection.How might this location benefit the virus?
