Stages of the virus life cycle that can potentially be disrupted due to endogenous or exogenous sunlight damage to the virus (a) genome or (b) capsid, including: (i) attachment, (ii) entry, (iii) replication of nucleic acids and translation of proteins, (iv) assembly of virions and release by host cell. There is evidence that genome damage disrupts replication of the virus’s nucleic acid, whereas damage to the capsid protein could disrupt attachment, entry, or nucleic acid replication.
