the steps involved are ( 1 ) attachment of the virus to a receptor protein on the surface of the target cell , ( 2 ) entry of the virus into the cell , ( 3 ) replication of the viral genome through a dna intermediary , ( 4 ) entry of proviral dna into the nucleus of the host cell , ( 5 ) integration of proviral dna into the host cell genome , ( 6 ) transcription of proviral dna to viral genomic and messenger rna , ( 7 ) translation of viral messenger rna to viral proteins , and ( 8 ) assembly of viral components into new virions that are released by budding from the host cell membrane .
