provirus
Sign in to saveAlso known as proviruses
A provirus is a virus genome that is integrated into the DNA of a host cell. In the case of bacterial viruses (bacteriophages), proviruses are often referred to as prophages. However, proviruses are distinctly different from prophages and these terms should not be used interchangeably. Unlike prophages, proviruses do not excise themselves from the host genome when the host cell is stressed.

Un provirus (ou encore prophage dans le cas des bactéries) est une séquence virale incorporée dans le génome de la cellule hôte après virolage de celle-ci.
