Peer Review edit

I am working on a peer review for your article titled Satellite (Biology).

I made a few grammar corrections to the introduction, but otherwise, I feel that it is a strong introduction to the topic. With this sentence: A satellite virus of mamavirus that inhibits the replication of its host has been termed a virophage do you think it would be mamaviruses? It just didn't sound right to me, but I wasn't sure how else to word it.

With this sentence: A few years later in 1969, did scientists truly discovery another symbiotic relationship with the tobacco ringspot neopvirus (TobRV) and another satellite virus. I think that it also sounds awkward. Could you say something like It wasn't until a few years later in 1969, that scientists truly discovered another symbiotic relationship with the tobacco ringspot neopvirus (TobRV) and another satellite virus. I'm not sure.

I like the classification section, but I'm wondering if a small description could be added that would explain why they are classified this way or where the classification system comes from.

Response to Clbabcock edit

Thanks for your feedback I did go back and change the sentence structure and satellites are classified as sub viral agents in that they require the help for co-infects therefore they do not have their own taxanomic classification. There is talk about proposing new genre for the classification of satellites. As far as the comment on mamavirus it is in broad terms considered a satellite because of its requirement of co-infection but ultimately is a Virophage because of the relationship between mamavirus and co-infection virus is parasitic where as satellite viruses are symbiotic relationships with co-infector.
