Capstan friction model for DNA ejection from bacteriophages [PDF]
Bacteriophages infect cells by attaching to the outer membrane and injecting their DNA into the cell.The phage DNA is then transcribed by the cell's transcription machinery.A number of physical mechanisms by which DNA can be translocated from the phage capsid into the cell have been identified.

Effects of Noise on Ecological Invasion Processes: Bacteriophage-mediated Competition in Bacteria [PDF]
Pathogen-mediated competition, through which an invasive species carrying and transmitting a pathogen can be a superior competitor to a more vulnerable resident species, is one of the principle driving forces influencing biodiversity in nature.

Etude de classification des bacteriophages [PDF]
Phages are one of the most present groups of organisms in the biosphere. Their identification continues and their taxonomies are divergent. However, due to their evolution mode and the complexity of their species ecosystem, their classification is not complete.
