The interval shortly after infection when only small amounts of parental infectious virus can be detected is the

  • A.egress phase
  • B.attachment phase
  • C.eclipse phase
  • D.maturation phase

Answer: C

During the eclipse the genome has been uncoated and exposed to the machinery that will express it, so no intact infectious particle exists to be recovered. Detectable virus reappears once maturation begins and progeny accumulate.
