Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the viral infection cycle: Viruses go through several phases during infection, including attachment, entry, assembly, and release.
Attachment: This is the initial phase where the virus binds to the host cell surface receptors.
Entry: After attachment, the virus enters the host cell, often through endocytosis or membrane fusion.
Assembly: In this phase, the viral components, such as nucleic acids and proteins, are synthesized and assembled into new viral particles within the host cell.
Release: The newly assembled viruses are released from the host cell, often causing cell lysis or budding off from the cell membrane.
