Because viruses cannot live independently of their interaction with the parasitized host cell, all viruses have evolved strategies for coexisting with cells, while these cells continue to carry out physiologic functions as part of specific tissues or organs. It is the complex interplay between viral and host properties that determines the relationship that the virus will experience with its host in vivo, whether resulting in disease or not. The interplay between viral and host features thus determines the pathogenesis of infection.
