Working model. RVFV relies on polyamines for cholesterol synthesis for replication, including incorporation of cholesterol in virions. In cells with polyamines, virions contain both polyamines and cholesterol. In polyamine-depleted cells (e.g., when treated with DFMO), cholesterol and polyamine levels are depleted, leading to reduced infectivity.
