>Therefore, RNA recombination may engender divergence in host genes, and the evolution of both virus and host may be interrelated and linked to the very same eliciting process What I'm curious about, and what Maori is apparently suspecting, is whether viral genes coding for viral proteins can be incorporated into the bee genome, and then later be triggered to be expressed, with deleterious consequences to the bees. The question then would be what was the trigger?
