The replication processes used by individual viruses is highly variable. However, all viruses must attach to a susceptible host cell, enter the cell, disassemble the virus particle (uncoating), …

Viruses are perfect parasites. It has been known for decades that once a virus gets inside a cell, it hijacks the cellular processes to produce virally encoded protein that will replicate the virus’s …

Introduction Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that replicate only within living animal, plant, or bacterial cells. Of the 71 taxonomically defined virus families, 24 contain members …

Influenza viruses replicate within the nucleus of the host cell. This uncommon RNA virus trait provides influenza with the advantage of access to the nuclear machinery during replication. …

Influenza, Ebola and COVID-19 are all viruses. Find out what a virus does to your body and how to decrease your chance of exposure.

Viruses with an RNA lifestyle (i.e., an RNA genome plus messenger RNAs) have no apparent need to enter the nucleus, although during the course of replication a few do. DNA viruses, as …

Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites, relying to a major extent on the host cell for replication. An active replication of the viral genome results in a lytic infection characterized by the release …

Influenza A virus (IAV) is the primary causative agent of influenza, colloquially called the flu. Each year, it infects up to a billion people, resulting in hundreds of thousands of human deaths, and …
