Concept
Viral release is the process by which newly formed viral particles exit the host cell to infect other cells, often causing cell damage or death in the process. This step is crucial for the propagation of viral infections and can occur through mechanisms such as lysis, budding, or exocytosis, depending on the virus type.
Concept
Micronemes are specialized secretory organelles found in certain parasitic protozoa, such as Plasmodium and Toxoplasma, that play a crucial role in host cell invasion. They release proteins that facilitate the attachment and penetration of the parasite into the host cell, making them essential for the parasite's infectious cycle.
