Phages are also known as bacteriophages which are viruses. They are specifically viruses that attack bacteria. Depending on the species, some viruses incorporate their DNA in to the host's genome. These viruses are known as proviruses because they can go through the lysogenic cycle.
Phages that replicate only via the lytic cycle are known as virulent phages while phages that replicate using both lytic and lysogenic cycles are known as temperate phages.
Phages have lytic or lysogenic cycle to reproduce themself.Phages that have lytic life cycle it kill bacteria after new progenicy of phages are relaset from host bacteria.Phages with lysogenic cyclel it integrate their DNA to the host bacteria.However, when bacteria that carry genetic material of lysogenic phages are posed to stress can switch to the lytitic cycle to produce a new progeny of pahages.
Perhaps the imminent death of the host cell could trigger the lysis, or just any change in conditions that would be programed into the virus DNA that would trigger the exit from the host.
Lysogenic Cycle
Lysogenic
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.
HIV, Klebs-Löffler bacillus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Shigella dysenteriae, and Vibrio cholerae are examples of viruses that go through the lysogenic cycle.
temperate viruses
The pox virus is related to the herpes viruses and they are lytic but can become latent. Latency is not the same as lysogenic.
Yes and no pneumonia can be also caused by viruses and is mostly the lytic cycle!
Temperate phages are bacteriophages that can follow two replication pathways: lytic and lysogenic. In the lytic cycle, they infect a bacterial host and replicate rapidly, causing cell lysis. In the lysogenic cycle, they integrate their DNA into the host genome, replicating along with the host without causing immediate cell lysis.
Phages can replicate in harmony with their host by entering a lysogenic cycle, where they integrate their DNA into the host genome and replicate passively with the host. Alternatively, phages can undergo a lytic cycle, where they replicate quickly and burst the host cell to release progeny phages without causing host cell death.
