A virus that infects bacteria

a protein coat that surrounds the DNA or RNA of a virus

A widespread outbreak of an infectious disease.

a virus can have these proteins with carbohydrates attached that help viruses attach and enter their host cell

an organism, like a cell, animal, or plant, that provides a living environment for a virus to survive and reproduce

viral replication process in which viral DNA inserts into the host cell's chromosome, may remain dormant and later activate

a viral reproductive cycle in which copies of a virus are made within a host cell, which then bursts open, releasing new viruses

capsid and nucleic acid

causing disease

substance prepared from killed or weakened pathogens and introduced into a body to produce immunity; protects against a virus

A tiny, nonliving particle that invades and then reproduces inside a living cell.

The viral parts are now assembled into a virus

The virus attaching to a host cell. The virus must have the correct proteins to attach to the cell's proteins

The virus injects DNA in the host cell

Newly formed viruses are released from the cell into the outside environment

The host cell replicates the genetic material and the viruses structural parts needed to make more viruses
