defective virus

Definitions
virus which lacks a complete genome so that it cannot completely replicate or cannot form a protein coat; some are host-dependent defectives, meaning they can replicate only in cell systems which provide the particular genetic function which they lack; others, called satellite viruses, are able to replicate only when their genetic defect is complemented by a helper virus.
