Several 'Vampire Viruses' have just been found for the first time on US soil.
About Vampire Viruses
They are pathogens that attach themselves to other viruses in order to proliferate.
They form when a bacteriophage attaches to a soil-based virus and uses its "life" to survive on its own.
A satellite and a helper virus interaction exists between two diseases. The satellite is the infectious strand that is supported by the helper during its life cycle.
Satellites rely on their host organism as well as a helper virus to complete their life cycle.
The satellite virus relies on the helper virus to construct the protective shell that surrounds its genetic material, known as a capsid, or to assist it in replicating its DNA.
After entering the cell, most satellite viruses have a gene that permits them to integrate into the host cell's genetic material.
From then on, anytime a helper enters the cell, the satellite will be able to replicate.
When the host cell divides, it copies both the satellite's and its own DNA.
What Exactly Is A Bacteriophage?
Bacteriophages (BPs) are viruses that infect and kill bacteria while causing no harm to human or animal cells. They are made up of a protein capsule encasing an RNA or DNA genome.
As a result, it is thought that they can be used to treat bacterial infections, either alone or in combination with antibiotics.
