A virus kills its host cell primarily during the lytic cycle. In this process, the virus hijacks the host's cellular machinery to replicate its genetic material and produce new viral particles. Eventually, the accumulation of these new viruses leads to the lysis, or bursting, of the host cell, releasing the newly formed viruses to infect other cells.
