Two different types of viruses, virus A and virus B, infect

Last updated: 8/7/2022

Two different types of viruses, virus A and virus B, infect the same cell. This results in the production of progeny/new viruses that have the proteins and genetic material (nucleic acids) of both virus A and virus B. The progeny viruses also have a greater (wider) host range than either virus A or virus B. This is most likely caused by: antigen shift antigen drift phage conversion transduction (either type) conjugation
