Preferred Label : cytopathogenic effect, viral;
MeSH definition : Visible morphologic changes in cells infected with viruses. It includes shutdown of
cellular RNA and protein synthesis, cell fusion, release of lysosomal enzymes, changes
in cell membrane permeability, diffuse changes in intracellular structures, presence
of viral inclusion bodies, and chromosomal aberrations. It excludes malignant transformation,
which is CELL TRANSFORMATION, VIRAL. Viral cytopathogenic effects provide a valuable
method for identifying and classifying the infecting viruses.;
