Summary Introduction

The virus replication can occur either as lytic or lysogenic pathway. In lytic cycle, the host cell membrane gets destructed after the formation of new virus. The lytic virus replication is best studied in T4 bacteriophage. This virus infects the host cell by attachment and then it makes a hole in the host cell membrane to insert the genetic material into the host cell.
