A provirus is viral DNA incorporated into the host cell’s DNA. In contrast, viral DNA generally refers to the genetic material of the virus itself, which may exist independently or as part of the viral replication cycle. Thus, while a provirus signifies a stable integration into the host genome, viral DNA can exist in various forms during the viral life cycle, including encapsulated as a virus or integrated as a provirus.
