Vimarsh Gowda

If i am not wrong in my understandings, It feels to be possible if the replication cycle of the virus is less than apoptotic time taken for cell death. Good question by the by :)

Firzan Nainu

Thanks Vimarsh. I am aware of that. :)

dear firzan,

definitely virus can replicate in apoptotic cell. plz refer following site for reference,
