Replication of Viruses: A Review
Keywords:
Virus, living organisms, replicationAbstract
Viruses are among the smallest parasitic organisms in our world. They are non-living because they cannot reproduce without the cells of other living organisms, whether plants, animals, humans, or bacteria. Viruses are transmitted to living organisms in many ways and are found all around us in enormous numbers. Despite the differences between viruses, there are some basic steps similar in the viral life cycle. Antibiotics have no effect on viruses, so a few antiviral drugs have been developed. However, since there are relatively few targets for these drugs to interfere with, they are ineffective. This is because the virus reprograms its host cell to produce new viruses, making almost all the proteins used in this process part of the host's own tissue, with only a few being viral proteins.
