A citation code consists of a hyperlinked reference within "ref" begin and end codes.
To repeat the citation for other statements, the reference needs to have a names: "<ref name=aa>"
The repeated citation works like this, with a back slash.

The use of Bacteriophages for drug delivery

Chemotherapy drugs, while shown to have anti-tumor effects, tend to result in severe toxicity and widespread distribution throughout the body: notably damaging healthy and malignant cells. New research has started to focus on using bacteriophages as an individualized drug-carrying anti-cancer therapy. The therapy would be targeted, based on genetically-modifying and chemically manipulating filamentous bacteriophages. In Bar et al. 2008, the phages were modified to display a host-specificity-conferring ligand, and carry a cytotoxic drug by chemical conjugation
