So basically the cell is producing many new viruses as shown in the following diagram. And in the final step, because we have so many different viruses, that increases the pressure and causes the cell to actually burst open and light. And at this point the cell basically dies releasing all the new virus into the outside portion surrounding that cell. And this process is known as the Litig cycle. Now, a different process that other types of viruses undergo is known as the lithogenic cycle. Under this pathway the viral DNA or RNA that enters that cell is basically incorporated into the host's genome, the host's DNA.
