That's fascinating. Are you just speculating or is there some paperwork describing these findings?

- dogma1138 10y agoSpeculating about what? If you are interested in cell to cell infections NIH has an article about it https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3587356/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3587356/ There are quite a few other sources on Google, overall viruses are pretty sneaky, some of them even ask the cell politely to establish new cell to cell contacts to facilitate cell to cell infection. You might also like to look up virus assembly and budding, since it's also a pretty interesting topic, you might have viruses that do cell to cell infection of their naked forms then the final polymerization of their shells happens in another cell and they might even do the final budding in another. Expect nightmares tho ;) P.S. Cell to cell transfers might also be called exocytosis (sometimes also called reversed endocytosis) (exit) and endocytosis (entry) so if you are googling and can't find what you need might need to use the scientific terms.
