Incomplete bunyavirus particles can cooperatively support virus infection and spread
Genome segmentation is assumed to be costly for viruses with non-selective genome packaging, as they produce high numbers of particles with an incomplete genome. However, this study shows that upon co-infection, complementing incomplete bunyavirus particles can reconstitute a complete genome, supporting virus infection and potentially contributing to within-host spread and between-host transmission.
