Viral Replication Cycle
This topic explores the stepwise process of viral multiplication: attachment, entry, uncoating, genome replication, transcription, translation, assembly, and release. It contrasts mechanisms of DNA viruses, RNA viruses (+/- sense, ds), and retroviruses. For Zambian university and college students, this knowledge is vital to understand pathogenesis, the basis of antiviral drug targets, and molecular diagnostics, preparing them for exams and careers in clinical virology and public health.
