The bacterial cell causing the infection is unable to reproduce and instead produces additional phages. [4] Phages are very selective in the strains of bacteria they are effective against. [5] Advantages include reduced side effects and reduced risk of the bacterium developing resistance, since [5] bacteriophages are much more specific than ...
(A) When the host cell is only infected by a giant virus, the latter establishes a cytoplasmic virus factory to replicate and generates new virions, and the host cell is most likely lysed at the end of its replication cycle. (B) When the host cell is co-infected with a giant virus and its virophage, the latter parasitizes the giant virus factory.
The HSV virus used as an oncolytic virus has retained their native thymidine kinase gene which allows it to be targeted with antiviral therapy in the event of unwarranted side effects. [8] Other challenges include developing an optimal method of delivery either directly to the tumor site or intravenously and allowing for target of multiple ...
Oseltamivir is used for the prevention and treatment of influenza caused by influenza A and B viruses. [5] [25] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.
