Virology Live #2: The Infectious Cycle
In this session we explore the infectious cycle, the complete course of events in a virus infected cell. We discuss the different parts of the infectious cycle and how to study them, including assay of infectious virus particles by plaque assay, multiplicity of infection, and the particle to pfu ratio. Physical methods for detecting viruses include hemagglutination, serological techniques, polymerase chain reaction, and high-throughput sequencing. We show how these methods were used to identify in early 2020 the pandemic coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.

– Who Am I? –
I’m Vincent Racaniello, Earth’s Virology Professor.
I’m also a professor of virology at Columbia University in New York. I’ve been doing research on viruses since 1976, and teaching virology in classrooms and online since 1999. On this YouTube channel I share videos of my lectures, podcasts, and more.
New videos are uploaded every Thursday and Sunday mornings.
