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?

How common is ABV in the USA?
In the United States, over half of adults have been infected with ABV by age 40. Once ABV is in a person's body, it stays there for life and can reactivate.
Match terms with descriptions based on the text above. You can use an answer more than once or not at all.
"Over half of adults have been infected with ABV by age 40."
