Viral infection induces cytoskeleton remodeling into cage-like structure. Virus infection can cause severe rearrangement of the cytoskeleton, and all three kinds of cytoskeleton form a cage-like structure enclosing the near-nuclear virus factory. Microfilaments form actin ring around the virus components, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, etc.; intermediate filaments form an intermediate filament cage to completely wrap the virus factory; microtubules form a grid shape microtubule cage
