- Infectious agent can invade surrounding tissues
1. Attachment; Virus becomes attached to a target epitheliall cell
2. Penetration; The cell engulfs the virus by endocytosis
3. Uncoating; Viral contents are released
4. Release; New viral particles are made and released into the extra cellular fluid
5. Assembly; New phage particles are assembled
6. Biosynthesis; Viral RNA enters the nucleus, where is is replicated by the viral RNA polymerase
- Cells have developed mechanisms to penetrate tissues and avoid the hosts' nonspecific and specific defences
- Inflammation, Immunituy
