1 Introduction to Viral Replication
This section provides an overview of the replication cycle of viruses, including the different stages involved in the process.
2 Attachment and Penetration
In this chapter, you will learn about the initial stages of viral replication, including how viruses attach to host cells and penetrate the cell membrane.
3 Uncoating and Replication
This section delves into the process of uncoating, where the viral genome is released from the capsid, and the replication of viral genetic material.
4 Assembly and Release
The assembly of new viral particles and their release from the host cell are the focus of this chapter. You will learn about the different strategies used by viruses to exit the host cell.
5 Viral Strategies for Replication
This section explores the different strategies used by viruses to replicate, including lytic and lysogenic cycles, retroviruses, and RNA viruses.
6 Viral Replication and Disease
The relationship between viral replication and disease will be discussed in this chapter, including how viruses cause disease and the impact of antiviral drugs on viral replication.
