Now thats what I call a retroinfection!!! Shazam!
Again, a biology joke. Sorry if its too specific.
Retrovirus (like HIV) are interesting in many ways. One of them is they break the "CENTRAL DOGMA OF MOLECULAR BIOLOGY" [link] by converting RNA into DNA (hence the prefix Retro-)
I'm imagining this virus swiming in someone's fluids at the sound of Blue Monday by New Order.

I made that one after seeing so many people bothered by the fact that these were phages and not actual retrovirus.
I made a scientifically correct version with actual retroviruses but it doesn't look as funny and it is remarkably less popular. Sometimes you have to be a bit more relaxed about the science when your aim is humour and puns.
Would you mind if i used your image for a presentation?
It is very informative.
Thanks

Would you mind if I used this in a presentation as well?
Thanks,

Seriously though, great play on words. I love it.
I work for a Vet Laboratory in New Zealand and we'd like to use this in our next newsletter: may I have permission?
This is actually a bacteriophage.
