Steps in Replication
1. Primary transcription by host enzymes
2. Translation of early (=regulatory) proteins
3. Viral genomic DNA replication (usually by host enzymes)
4. Late transcription (usually mediated by viral proteins)
5. Synthesis of late (=structural) proteins
6. Assembly of structural protein and DNA into virions
