Bacteria isolated from patients infected with stealth-adapted viruses can produce complex solid and thread-like structures similar to the alternative cellular energy pigments (ACE pigments) seen in cultures of stealth-adapted virus infected patients. Bacteria replication of stealth-adapted viruses can explain why certain patients diagnosed as having delusional parasitosis insist that the particles that they believe are parasitic, increase in number even when outside of the body. Bacterial production of ACE pigments may also be contributing to the ACE pigments that can be isolated from the hair, sweat, and urine of such patients. The term viteria has been applied to stealth-adapted viruses that have acquired bacterial sequences. Viteria infected bacteria clearly pose an important public health problem and may lead to a wider dissemination of stealth-adapted viruses.
从感染了具有潜伏适应性病毒的患者身上分离出的细菌，能够产生复杂的固态和丝状结构，类似于在感染了具有潜伏适应性病毒的患者培养物中所见的替代性细胞能量色素（ACE色素）。具有潜伏适应性病毒的细菌复制，可以解释为什么某些被诊断患有妄想性寄生虫病的患者坚持认为，他们认为是寄生虫的颗粒，即使在体外数量也会增加。细菌产生的ACE色素，可能也促成了可以从此类患者的头发、汗液和尿液中分离出的ACE色素。术语“viteria”已应用于获得了细菌序列的具有潜伏适应性的病毒。感染了viteria的细菌显然构成了一个重要的公共卫生问题，并可能导致具有潜伏适应性的病毒更广泛地传播。
