The easiest way to understand how viruses replicate is to study the life cycles of viruses called bacteriophages (bacteria eaters). Bacteriophages replicate by either a lytic cycle or a lysogenic cycle. The difference in these two cycles is that the cell dies at the end of the lytic cycle or the cell remains in the lysogenic cycle. The virus remains "hidden".

Infection with a pathogen does not necessarily lead to disease. Infection occurs when viruses, bacteria, or other microbes enter your body and begin to multiply.

Why is influenza an active virus?

Because it spreads more quickly than a hidden virusBecause the influenza viruses begin affecting you as soon as you are infected and start reproducing as soon as they are in the target cells of your respiratory system. Active viruses do not invade and then remain dormant to produce new symptoms in the future (sometimes the distant future).


What do viruses need to carry on?

Viruses need a host cell to be able to multiply. Once they get attached to the cell membrane or cell wall of a living cell, they can take it over and "make" the living cell produce virus particles instead of cell parts. These particles can assemble into more viruses and then they break out of the cell (killing it) and begin the process again. They cannot make more viruses on their own.

What two ways does your body keep viruses from infecting you?

One of the ways that the body keeps the virus from infecting you is through the antibodies and immune cells that begin the immune action. The other way is through special protein of the mucosa membrane or the respiratory tract secretion that retains certain viruses. Fever is another protective factor as viruses cannot multiply at high temperature. Consult a doctor for more information.


Do Viruses multiply through binary fission?

No, they do not. They are hijackers. Once they get attached to the cell of a living cell, they can take it over and "make" the living cell produce virus particles instead of cell parts. These particles can assemble into more viruses and then they break out of the cell (killing it) and begin the process again.No, only living cells divide by binary fission. Viruses are not alive.
