As agents of gene transfer, viruses may supply the host with new genetic material in the form of integrated elements (reviewed by Faruque & Mekalanos, 2003; Sherwood, 2003; Brussow et al., 2004) and replace cellular genes by viral nonorthologs (horizontal or lateral gene transfer; Filée et al., 2002, 2003).

Moreover, virus specific chemotherapeutic agents could also manage inhibition of virus multiplication that may result in inhibition of infection at an earlier stage.
