Examples of Satellite in the following topics:
-
- Replication defective viruses (also known as satellites) are those that need the presence of other viruses to help them reproduce.
- Satellites depend on co-infection of a host cell with a helper virus for productive multiplication.
- When a satellite subviral agent encodes the coat protein in which it is encapsulated, it is then called a satellite virus.
- Satellite viral particles should not be confused with satellite DNA.
- These viruses that are dependent on the presence of other virus species in the host cell are called satellites.
-
- Since they depend on helper viruses, they are classified as satellites.
