Viral Replication
Viral replication is a fundamental biological process whereby viruses exploit host cells to reproduce and proliferate. This intricate mechanism involves the virus hijacking the host's cellular machinery to replicate its genetic material and assemble new viral particles. Understanding the intricacies of viral replication is crucial for developing effective antiviral strategies and vaccines. This process plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of infectious diseases, making it a focal point in virology research and a key target for therapeutic interventions.
