Answer 1

Answer: The definition from Adams (1959) for "virulent phage" (p. 442) is "A phage that lacks the ability to lysogenize. When known to have originated by mutation from a temperate phage, it is called a virulent mutant." In the same monograph, Typically, these host cell proteins are endocytosed and the bound virus then enters the host cell. Virulent viruses such as HIV, which causes AIDS, have mechanisms for evading host defenses. Some viral virulence factors confer ability to replicate during the defensive inflammation responses of the host such as during virus-induced fever.
