Needs Work

First, Isn't there an more general term than 'onocogene' for the inserted viral DNA? Second, Isn't the term 'onocogene' a mispelling of 'oncogene', which refers to a cancer-associated gene? Third, Don't the preferred insertion sites of different viruses vary with the type of virus, as opposed to all viruses inserting their DNA next to the 'c-myc' gene? Forth, Isn't it true that many viruses do not remain latent within a cell? Fifth, Isn't the 'bursa of fabricus' present only in birds, while viruses affect more than birds?
