Abstract
This review article describes the mechanism of multiplication of viruses. Virus infection of mammalian cells proceeds in 4 main stages, adsorption of the virus to the host cell followed by penetration, pre-emption of the synthetic machinery of the cell by the virus, synthesis of viral macromolecular components under the direction of the viral genome, and assembly of viral components to produce mature virus progeny.
