The lysogenic cycle or lysogeny is one of the two viral reproductive lifecycles (the other one is the lytic cycle) characterized by integrating the viral genome into the host bacterial chromosome. It is also called a non-virulent infection since it does not kill the host.

The lysogenic cycle is a process in viral replication where the virus integrates its genetic material into the host cell’s DNA, lying dormant until triggered to enter the lytic cycle. This process allows the virus to persist within the host cell without causing immediate harm.

The lysogenic cycle is a type of viral replication where the virus's genome is integrated into the host cell's genetic material, being replicated and passed onto subsequent generations during host bacterium reproduction.

The lysogenic cycle is a method by which a virus can replicate its DNA using a host cell. Typically, viruses can undergo two types of DNA replication: the lysogenic cycle or the lytic cycle. In the lysogenic cycle, the DNA is only replicated, not translated into proteins.

Lysogenic Cycle. Lysogenicity is one of two bacteriophage life cycles defined by the integration of the bacteriophage genome into the host genome. During the lysogenic life cycle, host bacteria normally survive and continue to grow after bacteriophage replication.
