Detailed Solution

Viruses lack their own biochemical pathways to multiply. They depend on the host cell and make use of the host machinery for completing their life processes. Therefore, it is difficult to find targets for the drug that can interfere with the replicating viruses without harming the host cells. 

Thus, anti-viral drugs are difficult to develop.
