Viral Replication

Molecular classification: Biological Process

Overview

Viral replication is the biological process by which viruses produce new copies of themselves within a host cell. Unlike living cells, viruses lack the cellular machinery necessary for self-replication and must hijack the metabolic and synthetic systems of their host to propagate. This process results in the formation of new infectious viral particles (virions), enabling continued infection and spread to other cells or hosts. It is essential for virus survival, transmission, and pathogenesis and underpins all viral diseases.
