Any process required for the introduction of virus particles into the cell. A reproductive process involved in viral reproduction. Usually, this is by infection of a host cell, replication of the viral genome, and assembly of progeny virus particles. In some cases the viral genetic material may integrate into the host genome and only subsequently, under particular circumstances, 'complete' its life cycle. A form of viral penetration which involves the fusion of the virion envelope with the cellular membrane. A process which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a membrane. A membrane is a double layer of lipid molecules that encloses all cells, and, in eukaryotes, many organelles; may be a single or double lipid bilayer; also includes associated proteins. The membrane organization process that joins two lipid bilayers to form a single membrane. The process by which a virion enters a host cell, including virion attachment and penetration.
