Generally‚ a virus attaches to a specific target cell‚ fusing its envelope with the cell’s membrane and injecting its DNA into the nucleus of the host cell. Once inside the cell‚ this viral DNA replicates itself and also uses the existing machinery within the ‘infected’ cell to make more viral proteins. It then assembles itself and will leave the cell to spread to other cells. The anti-viral acyclovir is taken into the body orally. The acyclovir molecules entering the ‘infected’ cell are converted
