The invasion of a cell by viruses increases the cell's osmolarity. This occurs because the viruses act like any other particle. As the number of viruses increases, the number of particles in the cells increases as well. This increased particle number gives the cells an increased osmolarity that could eventually lead to cellular lysis.
