    This paper shows the importance of genotypic diversity for baculovirus populations, particularly in terms of pathogenicity.

    This team's antiviral has the ability to recognize and induce apoptosis in cells containing viral double stranded RNA (dsRNA). So, they can kill cells containing up to 15 different types of viruses, including Dengue Fever and H1N1 Influenza, while leaving uninfected cells alone.........A-MAZING!

    this writing is about mimivirus which have the largest virus and large DNA. its origin come from water and it estimated first host is also a marine viability. mimi virus character is suprisingly, can replicate genetic material by themselves! having cellular machinary combined with bacteria, but not absolutly dependent to host system,just need help just step of its metabolism. i think mimivirus middle stage from parastic alive to dependent form has more possibility

    Is it that the virus itself has a great deal of genetic diverisity, or is it somehow an emergent property with it and the host organism? Insects are arguably the most diverse organisms on earth, doesn't it seem reasonable to expect baculoviruses to be equally diverse? Even if they're simply diverse because they've evolved (or whatever terms apply to these abiotic "Creatures") together, each one-upping each other as natural selection has operated- it's pretty cool.

    There is a new scientific discovery about the "oncolytic virus" which means attack a tumor. That discovery said that RSV-respiratory syncytial virus- is an oncolytic virus which can attack cancer tumor selectively. But, that paper has not published yet, so i find a paper about the oncolytic virus.

    It's really cool to think that we're spending all this time and money on nanotechnology in the medical field, when we already have biological nanotechnology at our fingertips-- if we can learn to use them (viruses) anyway. Perhaps in 100 years a virion will refer to a virus that can heal a cell vs. infect it.

      I have a hard time feeling glad that an organism (fine, a nucleic acid in a protein capsid that replicates inside hosts and uses their cell machinery to make new component parts) of any kind is gone in the wild. As humans we want to eliminate some parts of nature but not others. Sure there's still these viruses in a lab somewhere, but they are a part of the ecosphere, no? Since we know so little about them, is it wise to think we can eliminate some with no consequences?

      We seldom look at arthropods period- not just in regard to their potential risks. Perhaps if we spent as much time studying their ecology as we should- based on how many species there are (TONS), we'd know more about things that impact us overall.

    Did you know that there are viruses of viruses? They're called virophages, and they infect, you guessed it, mimiviruses.
