MULTIPLE VIRUS INFECTION OF SINGLE HOST CELLS

PMCID: PMC2135721  PMID: 19871662

Abstract

Evidence is presented to show that two or more viruses can simultaneously manifest their characteristic activities within individual epithelial cells of the normal rabbit's cornea. This evidence, together with that previously presented (1, 5, 6), makes plain that multiple virus infection of a single host cell can take place in corneal cells, in the cells of chick embryos, and in those of rabbit tumors, both benign (Shope's papilloma) and malignant. Certain implications of the findings are discussed.
