   Provirus
   A non-infectious intra-cellular form of a virus; the genome of a virus - essentially a nucleic acid; it is perpetuated in stable association with the internal structure of the host cell.

   provirus
   The genome of a virus when it is integrated into the host cell DNA. In the case of the retroviruses, their RNA genome has first to be transcribed to DNA by reverse transcriptase. The genes of the provirus may be transcribed and expressed, or the provirus may be maintained in a latent condition. The integration of the oncogenic viruses, such as Papovaviridae and retroviruses can lead to cell transformation.

   Provirus
   A `provirus` is a virus genome that has integrated itself into the DNA of a host cell. One kind of virus that can become a provirus is a retrovirus. When a retrovirus invades a cell, the RNA of the retrovirus is transcribed into DNA by reverse transcriptase, then inserted into the host genome by an integrase. A provirus does not directly make new DNA copies of itself while integrated into a host genome in this way. Instead, it is passively repli...

   provirus
   (pro-vi´rәs) a DNA transcript of an RNA virus that migrates from the cytoplasm into the nucleus and integrates into the host genome by crossing over so that it will be thus replicated in the daughter cells.

   provirus
   The precursor of an animal virus, usually a retrovirus; theoretically analogous to the prophage in bacteria, the provirus is integrated in the nucleus of infected cells, and can be activated in response to certain stimuli.
