You are viewing a single comment's thread from:RE: WTF is a Virus?View the full contextzanwaltz (30)in #science • 7 years ago But are viruses alive? What are phages? Those things kill bacteria and viruses.
What kind of phage are you talking about?
A bacteriophage is a virus that eats cells.
A phagocyte is a immune cell that eats bacteria and viruses.
Phage comes from the greek word phageĩn which means to eat.
And if you want to know if viruses are alive I recommend reading the post by @mcfarhat I linked in the text :)
Viruses are the connecting link between living and non-living entities.
