GENE EXPRESSION

REPLICATION

CYTOPLASMIC?

  1. Attachment of the viral proteins to host receptors.
  2. Virus enters into the host cell.
  3. Transcription of viral genes; replication of the DNA genome possibly in the cytoplasm.
  4. Assembly of new virions occurs in cytoplasmic viral factories.
  5. Cell lysis and virus release.
