hybrid virus
Pathology:
- the influenza A virus & respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can fuse together to create a hybrid virus that can evade the human immune system
- cell infected with both viruses can fuse together to form a palm-tree-shaped hybrid, which could infect new cells even in the presence of influenza A virus antibodies
