The eclipse period of a viral growth cycle is the interval during which

  • A.the host cell has already lysed
  • B.the virus is attached but not yet penetrated
  • C.progeny virions are being released steadily
  • D.little infectious virus can be detected inside the cell

Answer: D

Shortly after infection the parental virion has been taken apart and progeny particles have not yet been assembled, so assays find almost no infectious virus even though the genome is being expressed. The count rises again only once assembly begins.
