Virology Masterclass: Viral Reproduction Cycles, Human & Plant Diseases, and Sub-Viral Agents

Image
Biology Notes Reproduction in Viruses, Viral Diseases & Sub-Viral Agents Target Exam: NEET / AIPMT Prep • Read time: 4 mins 1. Reproduction in Viruses Viral reproduction occurs mainly through two primary mechanisms: (a) Phagic Reproduction Only the nucleic acid of the virus enters the host cell. It is further categorized into two types: Lytic Cycle: Occurs in virulent phages (e.g., $T_4$ bacteriophages). Causes the destruction/lysis of the host cell. Lysogenic Cycle: Occurs in temperate viruses (e.g., $\lambda$ phage). Viral DNA integrates into the host genome without immediate cell destruction. (b) Pinocytic Reproduction Found in viruses like TMV, HIV, Hepatitis B , etc., in which the whole virus particle enters the host cell (except the outer envelope, if present). ...
