Does Measles go through the lysogenic life cycle or lytic life cycle?

tuberculosis is caused by a bacterium. lytic and lysogeinc cycles are a part of viral life-cycle.


Does the Norwalk virus have a Lytic or Lysogenic cycle?

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 as many lytic viruses are. Most bacteriophages are lysogenic. See link below:


What are two phases of virus activity?

The two phases of virus activity are the lytic cycle and the lysogenic cycle. In the lytic cycle, the virus infects the host cell, replicates its genetic material, and then leads to the destruction of the host cell, releasing new virus particles. In the lysogenic cycle, the virus integrates its genetic material into the host cell's DNA and remains dormant for a period of time before switching to the lytic cycle.


Marburg virus lytic or lysogenic?

There is a specific difference between the 2 cycles. In the Lytic cycle, the virus DNA/RNA remains separate from the Host's DNA. In the Lysogenic cycle, the virus DNA/RNA is incorporated (combined) into the host's DNA. Any virus injects its DNA into a host's cell. No matter what, in both cycles, the host cell ends up bursting and releasing the viruses. The Marburg virus incubates (grows) inside a host's cell, usually from 5-7 days, but can range from 3-10 days overall. It also produces new viruses which release into the organism (in this case, the human or primate). The Marburg Virus goes through both lytic and lysogenic cycles.


Does the avian flu have a lytic or lysogenic cycle?

I believe it is lytic. Think: colds are fast acting; they don't sit in your cell for years on end. This means they are lytic (fast acting).

Yes rabies is lytic. The lytic cycle is a cycle of viral reproduction and is how some diseases are spread.

Does pneumonia go through lysogenic or lytic cylcle?

Yes and no pneumonia can be also caused by viruses and is mostly the lytic cycle!


When a virus takes over a cell what part of the virus takes over the cells functions?

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".
