Abstrakt:	The article offers information on how the Semliki Forest virus (SFV), which was first discovered in 1944 in the rain forest of Southern Uganda, enters an animal cell. SFV belongs to the class of virus known as togavirus which are spherical. On exposure to an animal cell, the SFV particles attach to the surface of microvelli. After this, the virus particles moves down its shaft into the center of the cell. In entering the cell, SFV particles are exploiting part of a vital cellular cycle.
