== Effects on the host cell ==
Viruses have an extensive range of structural and biochemical effects on the host cell.{{sfn | Oxford |Kellam|Collier| 2016 | p=34–36}}These are called ''[[cytopathic effect]]s''.{{sfn | Oxford |Kellam|Collier| 2016 | p=34}} Most virus infections eventually result in the death of the host cell. The causes of death include cell lysis (bursting), alterations to the cell's surface membrane and [[apoptosis]] (cell "suicide").<ref name="pmid28846635">{{cite journal |vauthors=Okamoto T, Suzuki T, Kusakabe S, Tokunaga M, Hirano J, Miyata Y, Matsuura Y |title=Regulation of Apoptosis during Flavivirus Infection |journal=Viruses |volume=9 |issue=9 |pages= 243|year= 2017 |pmid=28846635 |pmc=5618009 |doi=10.3390/v9090243|doi-access=free }}</ref> Often cell death is caused by cessation of its normal activity due to proteins produced by the virus, not all of which are components of the virus particle.<ref name="pmid18637511">{{cite journal <!--Deny Citation Bot-->|vauthors=Alwine JC |title=Modulation of host cell stress responses by human cytomegalovirus |journal=Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology |volume=325|pages=263–79 |date=2008 |pmid=18637511 |doi=10.1007/978-3-540-77349-8_15}}</ref>
 
Some viruses cause no apparent changes to the infected cell. Cells in which the virus is [[virus latency|latent]] (inactive) show few signs of infection and often function normally.<ref name="pmid18164651">{{cite journal | vauthors = Sinclair J | title = Human cytomegalovirus: Latency and reactivation in the myeloid lineage | journal = J.
