Some of the many relevant references that came up when I googled for:
"antiviral therapy" + "replication" + "control points"


...multiple control points exist that could be useful targets for therapeutic intervention.In particular, the tat and rev proteins, both essential for for virus replication, appear to be attractive candidates for antiviral therapy.

The major immediate-early promoter (MIEP) of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is responsive to a multitude of transcription factors and plays a pivotal role in initiating the viral transcription/replication cycle...Thus, deciphering the molecular mechanisms of the MIEP regulation may reveal key control points contributing to HCMV pathogenesis.

The teleological reason for the evolution of such specific control points as targets of posttranscriptional regulation remains speculative, but one possibility is that ORF57 and related herpes virus proteins act as precise checkpoints in the temporal progression of lytic replication, preventing frequent and abortive initiation of the lytic replicative cycle.

Explanation:
Is somewhat non-committing. Switching just doesn't sound right, given the context, and 'transfer points' is too specific
