Final answer:
Antiviral medications have different effects on the assembly and release of viral particles in Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and Influenza.
Step-by-step explanation:
Antiviral medications have different effects on the assembly and release of viral particles in Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and Influenza. In the case of HCV, antivirals target the hepatitis C virus polymerase enzyme, which is involved in the replication of the virus. This inhibits viral assembly and prevents the release of new viral particles. For Influenza, antiviral drugs known as neuraminidase inhibitors, such as oseltamivir (Tamiflu), block the activity of the neuraminidase enzyme, which allows the virus to be released from infected cells. By blocking this process, the spread of the virus is inhibited.
