Any process required for the introduction of virus particles into the cell. Any process involved in the specific binding of a viral antireceptor to a cell surface receptor. 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. Penetration by an organism into the body, tissues, or cells of the host organism. The host is defined as the larger of the organisms involved in a symbiotic interaction. The invasion by an organism of a cell of its host organism. The host is defined as the larger of the organisms involved in a symbiotic interaction. A set of processes which all viruses follow to ensure survival; includes attachment and entry of the virus particle, decoding of genome information, translation of viral mRNA by host ribosomes, genome replication, and assembly and release of viral particles containing the genome. The set of processes involved in the start of virus infection of cells. The invasion by an organism of a cell of a second organism, where the two organisms are in a symbiotic interaction. The process by which a virion enters a host cell, including virion attachment and penetration.
