Flashcards
Virus Replication
Virus Replication
The process by which a virus multiplies within a host cell.
Extracellular Phase
Extracellular Phase
The phase of virus replication where a virus is outside of a host cell, waiting to infect a new one.
Intracellular Phase
Intracellular Phase
The phase of virus replication where a virus is inside a host cell and actively multiplying.
