This lecture explores the replication strategies of viruses, highlighting their dependence on host cells and diverse mechanisms. It delves into the structural characteristics of different viruses, their genome complexity, and the implications of viral infections on cell division and immune response control. The presentation covers the lytic and lysogenic cycles of bacteriophages, the use of bacteriophages in clinical settings, and the classification of animal viruses based on their genetic material. Additionally, it discusses the evolution of viruses, zoonotic diseases, and the impact of mutations on viral diversity and immune evasion.
