RNA Virus Replication Strategies

RNA viruses use several replication strategies based on their genome type. They are grouped as positive-strand, negative-strand, or double-stranded RNA viruses. Some RNA viruses also use reverse transcription, which adds another layer to how they copy their genetic material.

virus a RNA sono classificati come a senso positivo, a senso negativo o a doppio filamento.

I virus a RNA a senso positivo, come il batteriofago MS2, infettano E. coli attraverso l'F pilus, mentre il poliovirus infetta principalmente gli esseri umani attraverso il recettore del poliovirus sulle cellule.
