Can stress cause a virus to switch from the lysogenic cycle to the lytic cycle?

Yes, stress can trigger a virus to switch from the lysogenic cycle to the lytic cycle. In the lysogenic cycle, the viral DNA integrates into the host's genome and remains dormant; however, environmental stressors, such as UV radiation or immune responses, can activate the viral genes. This activation leads to the production of new viral particles, resulting in cell lysis and the spread of the virus. This phenomenon is observed with certain viruses, such as lambda phage and herpesviruses.
