Resistance to RNA viruses in plants has been obtained for many positive-strand RNA viruses. The first case of resistance to a negative strand RNA virus is reported by J. J. L. Gielen et al., "Engineered resistance to tomato spotted wilt virus, a negative-strand RNA virus", Biotechnology 9 : 1363-7.

Some enveloped viruses appear to associate with coated pits in the plasma membrane, to be taken into coated vesicles by endocytosis and then translocated via large, uncoated vesicles into lysosomes. Fusion of viral envelope with lysosomal membrane then releases the nucleocapsid directly into the cytoplasm without exposure of the content of it to the lysosome. 2, record 3, English, - enveloped%20virus
