Cellular Virology is a study of viruses on a Cellular level. Viruses are submicroscopic parasites that replicates inside of host cells. They can infect and exploits of all type of life forms-from microorganisms to plants & animals.

Viruses rely on their host to replicate and multiply. This is because viruses are unable to go through cell division, they lack the genetic information that encode the necessary tools for protein synthesis or generation of metabolic energy; hence they rely on their host to replicate and multiply. Using the host cell's machinery the virus generates copies of its genome and produces new viruses for the survival of its kind and the infection of new hosts. The viral replication process varies depending on the virus's genome.
