Integrins are a large family of adhesion molecules under cellular control that could act bilabially in different situations; on the other hand, they play a significant role in adsorption and entry of immune system cells or other helper cells. Furthermore, they could be good targets for entry, localization and replication of infectious viruses into cells. As viruses apply various strategies for entry and infiltration to cells, comparison of these ways (especially integrin mediated), elucidates effective mechanisms in the inception of viral infection and the host cells interactions. At this point, the present study reviewed the relationships between common viruses such as Adenovirus, Papillomavirus, Herpesvirus, Hantavirus, Rotavirus, Echovirus, foot-and-mouth disease virus, Coxsackievirus type 9, Parechovirus type 1 and Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 with integrins and their viable interactions for therapeutical issues and better recognition of the commencement process of the infection by these viruses.
