Answer:
Viruses proliferate in natural environments by infecting cells and hijacking their replication and protein synthesis machinery. After new viral proteins are synthesized and assembled, bursts of viruses are released from the infected (and usually soon to be dead) cells to repeat the process all over again. How many viruses are released from each infected cell? This parameter is referred to as the viral burst size, alluding to the fact that often virus emission either leads to cell lysis (bacteriophage) or cell death (HIV infection of T-cells). The emission of new viruses from an infectedcell hence occurs as a burst with characteristic numbers of viruses and with time scales lasting from minutes to days depending upon the kind of virus and host. Burst sizes for different viruses have a large range corresponding in turn with the range of different sizes of the host cells. hope that helps and stay safe!!!
