Researchers have witnessed two viruses – influenza A and respiratory syncytial virus – fuse together to form a single, hybrid virus.
While competition between viruses has been researched in some detail, this new finding provides researchers with an unusual example of one virus coopting another for its own benefits.
"This kind of hybrid virus has never been described before," virologist and senior author Pablo Murcia told The Guardian. "We are talking about viruses from two completely different families combining together with the genomes and the external proteins of both viruses. It is a new type of virus pathogen."
The hybrid virus looks like a gecko's foot under the microscope, with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) forming the legs and influenza A virus forming the toes.
It was discovered during a lab-based experiment designed to analyze interactions between viruses during infection to better understand clinical outcomes, pathogen behavior, and transmission.

I’ll be . . .
So if I put two scary cats in a cage, do they transform into a single larger scarier cat? Just wondering...
Prolly just another form of ghey marriage.
The bio labs have been really busy creating.
Yeah that last sentence says it all.
Well, that’s it, then.
Under Article VI of the United Nations Biological Weapons Convention, Russia
has drafted an official complaint alleging that banned biological activities are
taking place in Ukraine.

Nuremberg 2 for the entire bio-weapons industry and their enablers, please...
Preferably before we get people nuked over this nonsense.
If you believe this shit, you just might be a STUPID Liberal.
No you ARE a STUPID Liberal
This monthly scamdemic thing is getting tiresome. Wake me when sanity returns to the planet.
More ‘gain of function’ research...
We’re doomed!!!!!
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
RSV will do the killing but now may have the variant producing power of the flu. And the flu portion may allow RSV to effects adults as much as the flu does.
We shall see.

This is all we need to know, they are at it again trying to kill more of us
At the risk of sounding like a Luddite… we need to stop messing with nature.
great...Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
The false positive rate was 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Hang the guilty. Free everyone else.
This might take more time than I have.
Are you OK with me doing it as a poltergeist?
Yep. Just in time for winter when the population stays indoors. I am now on day 17 of the RSV. It almost put me in the hospital. Dr told me there is no antibiotic treatment for it. Just treat the symptoms. Plenty of rest, water, and hot tea with honey.
Until you can explain to me how these two viruses met in an isolated area in order to fuse to each other, all you’ve done is admit to me that you created a super virus intentionally and you’re trying to Snowball the rest of us because the fields that we studied in were not virology. Well, we all take an awful lot of science courses nowadays and if you think you’re going to convince me that this happened by chance, I have a bridge to sell you back.
