👉 Voted-infection, also known as viral infection or pathogen infection, refers to the process by which a virus enters and takes control of a host cell, leading to the replication and spread of the virus within the body. This complex interaction involves the virus binding to specific receptors on the host cell surface, followed by entry mechanisms such as endocytosis or membrane fusion. Once inside, the virus hijacks the cell's machinery to produce more viral components, ultimately causing the cell to rupture or release new viral particles that can infect neighboring cells. The immune system then responds to combat the infection, but in some cases, the infection can persist or lead to severe disease if the host's defenses are overwhelmed. Understanding voted-infection is crucial for developing antiviral therapies and vaccines.
