Abstract: Phages are viruses that infect bacteria. Claims are emerging that one such phage, dubbed bellovirus, first colonizesSalmonellain chickens and can then transmit its genome to the cells of the chicken -- it could thus act as a shuttle vector moving gene sequences between bacteria and their animal hosts. Such viral fooling in nature is unprecedented.
