生物体之间的形态模仿长期以来被认为是一种适应策略，但模仿也发生在分子水平上。一个新出现的例子是微生物病原体使用结构模拟物来接合宿主细胞受体。
Morphological mimicry among organisms has long been recognized as an adaptive strategy, but mimicry also occurs at the molecular level. One emerging example is microbial pathogens' use of structural mimics that engage host-cell receptors.
