Viral Replication Cycles: Bacteriophages
Did you know that not all viruses kill their host cell right away? Some use stealthy strategies to hide from detection, impacting both the host and genetic variation. These strategies reflect the 2 main viral replication cycles. In this scrollable interactive, we’ll explore how these cycles differ and how they shape bacterial evolution.
