What is produced by cells infected with viruses?
More viruses. Cells infected with virus DNA are essentially converted into virus factories. Instead of producing the materials the cell needs to reproduce, it produces dormant viruses, until the cell bursts and the new viruses begin infecting other cells.
What is the part of the cell that viruses invade?
Viruses can infect animals, plants and bacteria, and the attachments vary. In animal viruses: Animal cells have a cell membrane. Viruses attach to certain proteins in that membrane. In plant viruses: Plants can also be infected with viruses. Since they have cell walls, viruses attach to those when infecting plants. In bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria): Special viruses called bacteriophages attach to the cell walls of bacteria by way of proteins.

How does aids affect animals?
HIV and AIDS are not the same thing. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes humans to develop AIDS. HIV is spread through contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid and breast milk. AIDS is a diagnosis that is issued by a health provider. HIV is unable to survive outside the human body. It is unable to be transmitted to any animal so it is impossible to be infected by an animal. There are other immunodeficiency viruses that infect animals however. These viruses may cause the animals to develop their own version of AIDS, however the condition would mean something much different because of the difference in disease susceptibility.
