Answer
No. To cultivate virus one need suitable host cells because viruses use the host cell machinery to replicate.
Answer
Mostly viruses can cultivate with a suitable hosts without cell means it might be less posibble because any virus it need a particular vector and they have a characteristic type of cells for example viruses can cultivate by using a animal inoculation method commonly used animals like mice and other method like tissue culture we mostly across this in that different types of cultures are used for cultivation of virus.
Answer
Viruses can be cultivated within suitable hosts, such as a living cell. To study bacteriophages, for example, bacteria are grown in a suitable growth medium; then bacteriophages are added. The bacteriophages multiply within the bacteria and increase their numbers substantially. Animal and plant viruses are cultivated in cell cultures. A cell culture is prepared by encouraging cell growth outside the animal or plant source. The cells are kept alive in a suspension of growth factors within a Petri dish. A thin layer of cells, or monolayer, is then inoculated with viruses, and replication takes place. Fertilized eggs and living animals can also be used to cultivate viruses. For research study, viruses can be cultivated in large volumes by inoculations to tissue culture systems. After a time, the cells degenerate, and viruses are harvested. The viral particles are concentrated by precipitation methods and purified by repeated centrifugations. Highly purified viruses can be obtained by crystallization and concentration under established conditions. So, specifically virus find it difficult to multiply without a host
Answer
There is no other way to cultivate virus.
Answer
A virus is a small infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of other organisms.so it doesn't seems like that viruses cultivate without cells.
