The first step in the infection of a bacterium by a virus consists of a collision between cell and bacteriophage. The presence of virus-specific receptors on the cell surface will trigger a number of events leading eventually to release of the phage nucleic acid. The execution of the various "steps" in the infection process varies from one virus-type to the other, depending on the anatomy of the virus. Small viruses like ØX 174 and MS2 adsorb directly with their capsid to the bacterial receptors, while other phages possess attachment organelles of varying complexity. In bacteriophages T3 (Fig. 1) and T7 the small conical processes of their heads point toward the adsorption site; a welldefined baseplate is attached to the head of P22; heads without baseplates are not infective.

The review presents the existing biological and mathematical models of the infection process caused by the Epstein–Barr virus. The existence of the Epstein–Barr virus in the host organism can be described by a model representing a cycle of six consecutive stages, each of them has its own independent variant of immune regulation. The phenomenon of virus excretion in biological fluids, in particular, in saliva, is modeled using differential equations. Usage of mathematical modeling allows us to supplement existing knowledge about the pathogenesis of the infectious process caused by the Epstein–Barr virus, as well as to determine threshold levels of virus isolation in non-sterile environments for the diagnosis of active forms of infection.
