Bug Zappers Can Spread Microbes
It may be fun to watch those pesky mosquitoes and flies sizzle. However, when those insects are zapped they may be spreading infectious organisms all around.

Lysogenic Replication of Bacteriophage Viruses
Bacteriophages reproduce by commandeering a bacterium and ultimately killing it. But sometimes, through lysogeny, the phage doesn't immediately take over its host.

Viral Phage Replication & Bacteria
Bacteriophages are a particular type of virus that infects only bacterial cells. Ultimately the virus kills its host, but sometimes it first becomes a hidden prophage.
