Lytic and Lysogenic Cycles of Virus Replication

This video provides an in-depth description of both the lytic and lysogenic phases of the virus replication cycle. You’ll learn how a virus attaches and enters the cell through receptor-mediated endocytosis, as well as how it replicates its viral genome, assembles the viral copies, and ultimately releases from its cellular host. Additionally, this video covers the dormant lysogenic phase in which viral DNA is inserted into cellular DNA and stored until triggered by an outside force.

In this video:
[0:27] Replication cycles of viruses
[1:30] Mechanism of influenza virus
[3:06] Method of Bacteriophage
[5:06] How Retrovirus works
[9:29] Explanation of Herpes
[10:25] Description of Lysogenic Phase

Leah, your presentation is excellent. Thanks for the clear (and entertainingly whimsical) information. I look forward to watching your other videos. I do have a question: like many people explaining viruses, you describe the virus using language that suggests the virus has agency. (For example, "attacks", "looking", "push and push", "creating a new membrane around itself", "creates a hole", "simple viruses will self-assemble", "trying to exit", "trying to escape", "finds", "cuts", "if it feels", "forget how to be a virus".) I know it's human nature to do this in explaining things, but should we be thinking of viruses this way? Or is it all "just chemistry" happening in there? How much do we know of what's happening at the chemical level?

Ma'am how can I get your other videos

[prmft]

Just surfacing from COVID - thanks for a very clear explanation!

[erickarnez]

I came here because I wanted to understand lytic and lysogenic phases, but you exlpained so good and i wanted to know more about coronavirus. I did not find in your website, I hope you will do a video explaining how it works coronavir, because you explain so good. Sorry for my english, I need to practice more.

Thank you so much, you are soooo good at explaining, so expressive👌👌👌👌

What does make virus prefer to replicate through lytic or lysogenic cycle? And which cycle is more dangerous?

[braceface]

Does the retrovirus still follow the transcribe from 5' --> 3' rule?
