on 'Defective' virus surprisingly plays major role in spread of disease, UCLA life scientists report

Wow good find. I would have missed this paper. I have always enjoyed reading about virus 'swarms', or how divergent genotypes emerge from, presumably a single genotype. Plant virologists are way ahead of animal virologists in this field, and would be interesting to see them compared. Anyways, cool find, and check out my related post about influenza swarms!

You should make clear that this work was done with an MS2 bacteriophage, not polio
