Descriptor virus satélites
Entry term(s) virus asociados
Scope note: Virus defectuosos que pueden multiplicarse sólo mediante la asociación con un virus facilitador que complemente el gen defectuoso. Los virus satélite pueden asociarse a ciertos virus de plantas, de animales o bacteriófagos. Difieren del SATELITE de ARN en que los virus satélite codifican su propia cubierta proteica.

Scope note: Defective viruses which can multiply only by association with a helper virus which complements the defective gene. Satellite viruses may be associated with certain plant viruses, animal viruses, or bacteriophages. They differ from satellite RNA; (RNA, SATELLITE) in that satellite viruses encode their own coat protein.
