Lipid rafts are ubiquitous in cells. They are identified as cholesterol and glycosphingolipid enriched microdomains on cellular membranes. They serve as platforms for cellular communications by functioning in signal transduction and membrane trafficking. Such structural organisation fulfils cellular needs for normal function, but at the same time increases vulnerability of cells to pathogen invasion. Viruses rely heavily on lipid rafts in basically every stage of the viral life cycle for successful infection. Various mechanisms of lipid rafts modification exploited by diverse viruses for attachment, internalisation, membrane fusion, genome replication, assembly and release have been brought to light. This review focuses on virus‐raft interactions and how a wide range of viruses manipulate lipid rafts at distinct stages of infection. The importance of virus‐raft interactions in viral infections has inspired researchers to discover and develop antivirals that target this interaction, such as statins, methyl‐β‐cyclodextrin, viperin, 25‐hydroxycholesterol and even anti‐malarial drugs. The therapeutic modulations of lipid rafts as potential antiviral intervention from in vitro and in vivo evidence are discussed herein.
