The life cycle of influenza A virus: (1) virus attachment to sialic acid receptor via HA; (2) entry of the virus into the host cell via endocytosis; (3) fusion and uncoating of virus particle; (4) vRNPs entry into the nucleus followed by transcription and replication of the viral RNA genome and then export of vRNPs from the nucleus; (5) assembly of viral components and budding at the host cell membrane; (6) new virion release from the host cell.
