Concept explainers

Viral Replication

The virus is acellular and considered non-living outside the host cell. The replication of the virus occurs only inside the living cells. Only a few genes are present in the smallest virus, whereas many genes are present in the largest virus. These genes encode specific viral proteins.

Question

a. If you were involved in developing an antiviral drug, what would
be some important considerations? (Can a drug “kill” a virus?)
b. How could multiplication be blocked?
