Oil of rosemary does not just repel ticks; it also deters flies, aphids and mites. While oil of rosemary is a tick repellent, it is not the most effective one available. Rose geranium and palmarosa essential oils repel ticks better.
Confidence votes 61. Viruses attach to living cells by binding to the cell receptors. The receptor site is very much like a jig-saw puzzle and the virus must be shaped to fit the site and to lock in. The virus first sticks to the cell membrane of the host cell. The virus then inserts its DNA/RNA into the cell's cytoplasm.
A virus remains totally inactive until it attaches itself to and infects a host cell. Once that happens, the virus may follow one of two paths. First, the virus may insert its genetic material (it is always DNA in this case) into the DNA of the host cell.he second pathway available to viruses is called the lytic cycle. In the lytic cycle, the virus first attaches itself to the surface of the host cell. It then makes a hole in the cell membrane and injects its genetic material (DNA or RNA).
