What happens after the virus has been taken up by the cell?

After a virus enters a host cell, it typically releases its genetic material into the host's cytoplasm. This genetic material can then hijack the cell's machinery to replicate itself and produce viral proteins. The newly formed viral particles assemble within the cell and eventually lead to the cell's lysis or budding, releasing new viruses to infect other cells. This cycle continues, propagating the infection throughout the host.
