Another idea, «beloved of microbiologists,» Hunter said, is the Trojan horse hypothesis, in which the parasite hitches a ride across the barrier while hidden inside an infected host cell.

The distinction between apoptosis and cell lysis is important in immunology - lysing a virus - infected cell would only release the virions, whereas apoptosis leads to destruction of the virus inside.
