Viruses remodel cellular compartments to build their replication factories. Remarkably, viruses are also able to induce new membranes and new organelles.

Reovirus inhibits interferon production by sequestering IRF3 into viral factories [PDF]
AbstractUpon viral infection, an arms-race between the cellular intrinsic innate immune system and viral replication is established. To win this race, viruses have established multiple strategies to inhibit the cellular response. Mammalian reovirus (MRV) constitutes a great model to study pathogenesis and life cycle of dsRNA viruses.

Rice stripe mosaic virus encoded phosphoprotein forms viral factory-like granules and is crucial for viral replication [PDF]
Viral proteins can aggregate into granules within host cells, known as viral factories, or viroplasms, which play a pivotal role in facilitating viral replication and shielding the viral genome from cellular defense mechanisms.

Recruitment of Cellular Clathrin to Viral Factories and Disruption of Clathrin‐Dependent Trafficking [PDF]
The viral factories of mammalian reovirus (MRV) are cytoplasmic structures that serve as sites of viral genome replication and particle assembly. A 721‐aa MRV non‐structural protein, µNS, forms the factory matrix and recruits other viral proteins to these structures.

Setting Up Shop: The Formation and Function of the Viral Factories of Cauliflower mosaic virus. [PDF]
Similar to cells, viruses often compartmentalize specific functions such as genome replication or particle assembly. Viral compartments may contain host organelle membranes or they may be mainly composed of viral proteins. These compartments are often termed: inclusion bodies (IBs), viroplasms or viral factories.

Single- and/or double-membrane viral factories? [PDF]
Once entering the cell host, viruses needs to interact with intracellular membranes in order to build up their replication organelles or factories, resulting in a remodeling of the cell membranes, the hallmark of virus infection. Positive (+) strand RNA viruses represent the largest group of RNA viruses.

Processing and Subcellular Localization of the Hepatitis E Virus Replicase: Identification of Candidate Viral Factories. [PDF]
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the major cause of acute hepatitis worldwide. HEV is a positive-sense RNA virus expressing three open reading frames (ORFs). ORF1 encodes the ORF1 non–structural polyprotein, the viral replicase which transcribes the full-length genome and a subgenomic RNA that encodes the structural ORF2 and ORF3 ...

Functional Imaging of Viral Transcription Factories Using 3D Fluorescence Microscopy [PDF]
It is well known that spatial and temporal regulation of genes is an integral part of governing proper gene expression. Consequently, it is invaluable to understand where and when transcription is taking place within nuclear space and to visualize the relationship between episomes infected within the same cell's nucleus.

Rabies Virus Infection Induces the Formation of Stress Granules Closely Connected to the Viral Factories. [PDF]
Stress granules (SGs) are membrane-less dynamic structures consisting of mRNA and protein aggregates that form rapidly in response to a wide range of environmental cellular stresses and viral infections. They act as storage sites for translationally silenced mRNAs under stress conditions.

Insights from the Infection Cycle of VSV-ΔG-Spike Virus [PDF]
Fundamental key processes in viral infection cycles generally occur in distinct cellular sites where both viral and host factors accumulate and interact. These sites are usually termed viral replication organelles, or viral factories (VF). The generation
