Lytic replication cycle of herpesviruses. Upon recognition of the
viral glycoprotein by a cell surface receptor, the viral envelope fuses with the
host cell membrane, allowing the virus to enter the cell through either direct
fusion or endocytosis. The virus is uncoated, releasing outer tegument pro-
teins. The capsid, together with some inner tegument proteins, is transported
