Abstract: Nucleolus is an important structure of biological cells, responsible for rRNA transcription and assembly of ribosome. Pathological studies reveal that nucleolus also plays important roles in viral infection. Virus can interact with nucleolus or its components to facilitate the transportation of viral particles, transcription and translation of viral genome. Here, we reviewed the progress on function of nucleolus during viral infection briefly.

Key words: virus, nucleolus, movement, interaction
