    In the cytoplasm, the satellite virus hijacks the morphogenesis machinery of its helper virus to produce its progeny. Virophages are small, double-stranded DNA viral phages that require the co-infection of another virus. The co-infecting viruses are typically giant viruses. Virophages rely on the viral replication factory of the co-infecting ...

    The latter two may merely reflect viral shedding, although diarrhea has been described in animal bocaviral infections, and some patients with HBoV seem to have diarrhea independent of respiratory symptoms. [28] [29] A study in Jordan found that 9% of 220 children hospitalized with lower respiratory tract infection were infected with bocavirus. [30]

    A viral infection does not always cause disease. A viral infection simply involves viral replication in the host, but disease is the damage caused by viral multiplication. [5] An individual who has a viral infection but does not display disease symptoms is known as a carrier. [17] Mechanisms by which viruses cause damage and disease to host cells
