Picornaviruses and Apoptosis: Subversion of Cell Death

ABSTRACT Infected cells can undergo apoptosis as a protective response to viral infection, thereby limiting viral infection. As viruses require a viable cell for replication, the death of the cell limits cellular functions that are required for virus replication and propagation. Picornaviruses are s...
