Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Attachment of herpesviruses typically results in endocytosis, in which the virus is engulfed by the host cell and enters through a vesicle. This process is facilitated by host cell receptors and is different from direct penetration or membrane fusion, which are other modes of viral entry. Exocytosis is a process by which the cell releases contents to the outside, and lysogeny refers to the integration of viral DNA into the host genome.
