Article Synopsis
- Bunyaviruses often produce incomplete virus particles that lack genome segments, which could hinder their ability to infect and spread.
- Using the Rift Valley fever virus, the study finds that two types of these incomplete particles can complement each other when co-infected in both mammalian and insect cells.
- The research suggests that these incomplete particles can actually enhance virus spread within hosts and between hosts, similar to how multipartite viruses operate.
