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. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of programmed cell death, cell death resulting from activation of endogenous cellular processes. The set of viral processes that result in the induction of apoptosis of infected cells, facilitating release and spread of progeny virions. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell death by apoptosis. An interaction between two organisms living together in more or less intimate association. The term host is used for the larger (macro) of the two members of a symbiosis; the various forms of symbiosis include parasitism, commensalism and mutualism. Interactions, directly with the host cell macromolecular machinery, to allow virus replication. A form of programmed cell death that begins when a cell receives internal or external signals that trigger the activity of proteolytic caspases, proceeds through a series of characteristic stages typically including rounding-up of the cell, retraction of pseudopodes, reduction of cellular volume (pyknosis), chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation (karyorrhexis), and plasma membrane blebbing (but maintenance of its integrity until the final stages of the process), and ends with the death of the cell. Any process that modulates the occurrence or rate of cell death by apoptosis. The process of apoptosis in cells infected with a virus. Any viral process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell death by apoptosis.
