Viroplasm

Viroplasm

A viroplasm is an inclusion body in a cell where viral replication/assembly occurs. They may be thought of as viral factories in the cell. Very little is understood about the mechanism of viroplasm formation. These appear electron-dense under the electron microscope, most likely due to high amounts of viral RNA in them.
