Viral replication
Viral replication is the term used by virologists to describe the propagation of biological viruses during the infection process in the target host cells. When used in the strictest sense, the term refers specifically to the amplification of the viral genome in the host cell. From the perspective of the virus, the purpose of viral replication is to allow production and survival of its kind. By generating abundant copies of its genome and packaging these copies into viral capsids, a single virus can give rise to multiple progeny viruses.
