• 6 Steps of Virus Replication:

  1. Adsorption
  2. Penetration
  3. Uncoating
  4. Nucleic Acid and Protein Synthesis
  5. Maturation or Assembly
  6. Release
• Attachment of virus to host cell membrane

  Adsorption
• Entry into host cell

  Penetration
• Necessary for the transfer of genome into host cell

  Uncoating
• Assembly of components

  Maturation
• Eventual exit from host cell

  Release
