Figure 1.
The roles of mitochondria in virus infection. For avoiding unnecessary complexity, the processes of virus uptake, passage through membranous compartments, release and disassembly of nucleocapsid, the respective representation has been strongly simplified. MIT: mitochondria, Nu: nucleus, red cycles: mitochondrial circular double strand DNA (mDNA), semi red cycles: broken mitochondrial double strand DNA, Double helix: nuclei DNA, Cyto C: cytochrome C, red wave lines: single strand viral RNA, the arrows indicate the directions of the links.
