Satellite (biology)
Scientific classification
(unranked) Subviral agents
(unranked) Satellite
Groups

Satellite viruses
Satellite nucleic acids

A Satellite is a subviral agent composed of nucleic acid that depends on the coinfection of a host cell with a helper or, master virus for their multiplication. When a satellite encodes the coat protein in which its nucleic acid is encapsidated it is referred to as a satellite virus. Satellite viral particles should not be confused with satellite DNA.
