Summary Introduction

To determine:

The reason that lysogenic and latent viral infections are generally longer lasting than lytic infections.

Introduction:

Viruses affect both human and animals and once it enters the body, the target cell is redirected to produce more viruses. Lytic cycle occurs inside the host bacteria, in which the virus enters into host cell and replicates itself. The phages make several copies of it and come out the host cell by rupturing the membrane. In lysogenic cycle, the viral DNA is integrated into the host DNA. It does not cause lysis of the membrane of host cell. The viral genome now replicates itself along with the host DNA, and thus transferred to the progeny cells.
