Viruses bind to host cells via specific receptors, partly determining which cell types become infected:
{| border="1" cellpadding="2"
!width="50"|Virus
!width="225"|Receptor
!width="225"|Cell type infected
|-
|HIV || CD4|| Helper T cells
|-
|Epstein-Barr virus|| Complement receptor (type-2)|| B cells
|-
|Influenza A virus|| Glycophorin A|| Many cell types
|-
|Polio virus|| Polio virus receptor|| Neurons
|}
Examples of pathogenesis of viruses:
*'''Fifth disease''': caused by parvovirus B19, characterised by 'slapped cheek' rash
*'''Verruca vulgaris''': caused by human papillomaviruses-1, -2 and -3
*'''Cervical cancer''': caused by human papillomaviruses-16 and -18
*'''Acute respiratory disease''': caused by adenoviruses -3, -4 and -7. Symptoms include flu-like fever, headache and chills
*'''Cytomegalovirus''': caused by a type of herpesvirus, CMV is the most common viral infection found in infants
*'''Smallpox''': caused by a type of poxvirus
