| helper virus |
AAV is incapable of carrying out a replication cycle in the course of cell infection. The presence of another virus, called a helper (auxiliary), provides additional functions needed for viral replication and leads to a productive infectious cycle. This dependency is the origin of the genus name of AAVs (dependovirus).
