    • 1. Binding surface receptor.
    • 2. Genome enters cell and uncoats.
    • 3. Early viral genes are expressed.
    • 4. Early viral prot. direct replication of viral genome.
    • 5. Late viral genes are expressed from newly. replicated viral genome.
    • 6. Late viral prot package genome and assemble progeny virus particles.
    • 7. Virions are released from cell.
