What are the steps of the active viral replication
Step 2
Penetration. Enveloped viruses
penetrate cells through fusion of the viral envelope with the host cell
membrane. Non-enveloped viruses penetrate cells by translocation of the
virion across the host cell membrane or receptor mediated endocytosis of
the virion in clathrin coated pits with accumulation of viruses in
cytoplasmic vesicles
STEP 4
Transcription and Translation. The key to understanding the
genomic expression of viruses is noting the fact that viruses must use
host cellular machinery to replicate and make functional and structural
proteins. Strategies for genomic expression for different taxonomic
groupings of viruses are described below
Uncoating (disassembly). A complex process which differs by
taxonomic class and is not fully understood for many agents. This
process makes the nucleic acid available for transcription to permit
multiplication of the virus.
