Are there any virologists in the house ?
I have a crude hypothetical 2 part question: If certain (very "active") viruses can evolve to infect bacteria (bacteriophages),is it possible similar very active virus could evolve to infect fungal cells (mycophages)??
Part2: Could Marburg use bacterial or fungal cells as an ad hoc "storage nutrient",then evolve back when "preferred" animal tissue becomes available?
Excellent question.
