COOPERATIVE STRATEGY. “Viruses can co-operate, that is they interact to build groups that invade host genomes and even compete as a group for limited resources such as host genomes. This leads to an extraordinary effective result and a key behavioral motif that is able to integrate a persistent lifestyle into cellular host organisms, the ‘‘addiction’’ modules: former competing viral groups are counterbalancing each other together with the host immune system.”
