Front 3

Virus life cycle

Back 3

Virus enters a cell or simply injects its own DNA into the cell

Front 4

Virus life cycle step 1

Back 4

A virus takes over the host's metabolic pathway utilizing ATP and enzymes to generate virus particles.

Front 5

Virus life cycle step 2

Back 5

From a single virus tens of thousands of new viruses can be produced.

Front 6

Virus life cycle step 3

Back 6

Virus can only infect a limited number of hosts.
In a multicellular host, viruses can only infect a limited number of cells.

Front 7

Emerging Virus

Back 7

A newly discovered virus that is increasing in incidence or has the potential to increase in incidence.

Front 8

Pathways of an emerging virus - Step 1

Back 9

Mutation of an existing virus.

Front 10

Pathways of an emerging virus - Step 2

Back 10

Dissemination of viral diseases from small, isolated human populations.

Front 11

Pathways of an emerging virus - Step 3

Back 11
