During which process does a virus kill its host cell?

lytic cycle


During what process does a virus kill its host cell?

The Lytic Cycle.


What effect will a virus in the lytic cycle have on in organism?

It is in the "reproduction" process when in the lytic cycle, so the effect will be that the virus will force the organism to replicate more and more "baby" viruses. The host cells will eventually die or be killed when it splits open (or buds) to release the new virus particles. The new particles will infect more and more cells of the host, killing the host's cells each time they split, making the host feel sicker and sicker until their defense systems figure out how to kill the viruses.The Norwalk virus (Norovirus) does not have a lyosgenic cycle. It does not remain dormant as lysogenic viruses can. It is lytic and is considered virulent.

it will cause a disease in the organism


How does a lytic virus kill a host cell?

It fuses with the cell releasing its hydrolytic enzymes which digest the cell.


What is virotherapy and how does it work?

It is the inserting of a virus that is capable to kill the cancer cells. This virus does not kill the healthy cells.

How is a lytic cycle different from a lysogenic cycle?

The lysogenic cycle incorporates its DNA into the cells DNA, lets the cell resume normal growth by reproduction, so that all the cells have viral DNA and lyse to produce more viruses than ever. The lyctic cycle merely infects and lyses one cell at a time.


Are lymphocytes that directly kill virus- infected cells?

T cytotoxic cells


Does SARS go through a lytic or a lysogenic cycle?

The virus that causes AIDS, HIV, is lytic in nature. Once it attaches itself into a host cell, it will go about integrating its genetic material into the host cell and use its machinery to force the cell to make copies of the virus. Additionally, the viral cell will kill the host cell in the process.


How does vaccine relate to the virus that it protect against?

A vaccine is essentially a weakened or dead version of the virus. This essentially "infects" you with the virus and causes the body's immune system to respond and create anti-bodies that will kill the real virus if it does ever get into your system.


Can a virus kill you?

Yes a virus can kill you, as you know virus there is no antibiotic to kill the virus. There are diseases such as viral meningitis, where its meningitis in a virus form where it can kill one very quickly. It all depends on the virus and the severity of it.
