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.his can result in the destruction of its host cell because the cell's protein synthesis machinery is hijacked to produce more viruses. Proviruses may account for approximately 8% of the human genome in the form of inherited endogenous retroviruses.
Introduction to viruses. A virus is a biological agent that reproduces inside the cells of living hosts. When infected by a virus, a host cell is forced to produce thousands of identical copies of the original virus at an extraordinary rate. Unlike most living things, viruses do not have cells that divide; new viruses are assembled in the infected host cell. But unlike still simpler infectious agents, viruses contain genes, which gives them the ability to mutate and evolve. Over 5,000 species of viruses have been discov
