Lesson 7: Virus Genome replication and Gene expression
Virus genome replication and gene expression are critical steps in the viral life cycle that enable the production of new viral particles. These processes vary depending on the type of…
Lesson 6: Virus Uncoating
Virus uncoating is the process where a virus sheds or removes or alters its protective protein coat (capsid) to release its genetic material inside a host cell, initiating the infection.…
Lesson 5: Virus Internalization
Virus internalization or entry or penetration is the process during which viruses gain access to viral replication sites within uninfected cells, a multistep course of events that starts with binding…
Lesson 4: Virus Attachment (adsorption)
Viruses attach to proteins known as cellular receptors or attachment factors on the surface of the host cell All viruses react specifically with a receptor on a cell surface using…
Topic 7: The Biology of Replication of Viruses
A. VIDEOS Viral replication process The Infectious cycle Attachment, entry and uncoating Reverse Transcription and Integration Viral DNA replication DNA virus replication strategies Life cycle for different types of DNA…
Lesson 3: How do viruses carry out their next generation? (Overview)
Viral replication is the formation of biological viruses during the infection process in the target host cells. Replication is the total of all the events whereby a single particle attaches…
Lesson 1: How host cell support the replication of viruses
Overview of how the cell support replication Different viruses have evolved various strategies to exploit the host cell for their replication. Throughout this process, the virus relies on the host…
Topic 6: Naming of viruses (Nomenclature)
A. VIDEOS Nomenclature and classification of viruses How do viruses and diseases named? Viral taxonomy and nomenclature Virus nomenclature B. LEARNING OUTCOMES By the end of this lesson, students should…
Lesson 2: How do we name viruses?
Viruses are named using specific rules and conventions established by international organizations like the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The process of…
