One virus enters a susceptible cell and produces 100-3000 progeny overnight.

Replication in vitro results in a cytopathic effect which spreads until all the cells in the vessel are dead.

Replication in-vivo results in necrotic lesions whose location depend on virus tropism. Lesions are then limited by nonspecifc immunity eg interferon.
