Tree Number(s): G06.920.881
Unique ID: D053586
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D053586
Scope Note: The entering of cells by viruses following VIRUS ATTACHMENT. This is achieved by ENDOCYTOSIS, by translocation of the whole virus across the cell membrane, by direct MEMBRANE FUSION of the viral membrane with the CELL MEMBRANE, or by fusion of the membrane of infected cells with the membrane of non-infected cells causing SYNCYTIA to be formed.
Entry Term(s): Viral Entry; Viral Internalization; Viral Membrane Fusion; Virus Entry; Virus Membrane Fusion
See Also: Endocytosis
