virus
A sub-microscopic, obligate intracellular parasite that replicates itself only within cells of living hosts; many are pathogenic; the structure of a virus is basically a strand of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) wrapped in a thin protein shell. A virus is not a cell, and is "lifelike" only when replicating itself at the expense of the host cell.
