Definition
OBSOLETE. The uptake of a virus into a host cell that begins when material is taken up into plasma membrane caveolae which then pinch off to form endocytic caveolar carriers containing the virus. The caveolar carriers then deliver their viral content to early endosomes, and the process ends when viral nucleic acid is released into the host cytoplasm by its injection through the endosome membrane.

Comment
This term was made obsolete because it doesn't represent a genuine process. The term injection is mostly used for prokaryotic viruses where there is no endocytosis.
