Abstract
INFECTION of animal cells with one type of poliovirus interferes with the growth of another, superinfecting, type added 30–60 min later1,2. On the other hand, simultaneous infection with type 1 and type 2 polioviruses can result in both types of viral RNA growing in the same cell, and in a considerable degree of phenotypic mixing in the progeny3,4. This communication describes a case of interference between two strains of poliovirus after simultaneous infection at equal multiplicities.
