2 Replicative cycle As obligate intracellular parasites, Virus must enter and replicate in living cells in order to reproduce themselves. This growth cycle involves specific attachment of virus, penetration and uncoating, nucleic acid transcription, protein synthesis, maturation and assembly of the virions and their subsequent release from the cell by budding or lysis

16 Enveloped viruses Some enveloped viruses require an acid ph for fusion to occur and are unable to fuse directly with the plasma membrane. These viruses are taken up by invagination of clathrin coated pits into endosomes. As the endosomes become acidified, the latent fusion activity of the virus proteins becomes activated by the fall in ph and the virion membrane fuses with the endosome membrane. This results in delivery of the internal components of the virus to the cytoplasm of the cell
