Not long ago, I watched a documentary about virus, nope this is not about computer virus, but a "tiny" genetic code that able to multiply in living host.
Tiny is a general stereotype to describe virus, strange it can be, there is one exceptional virus that is as big as a bacteria, and the scientists nicked name it "Mimi virus"- the pic above.
Beside bacteria, virus is another organism that cause "illness", yet it is another stereotype description for virus. Scientists now found that virus has some impact on how we are now. Ya, it might have some influence in our evolution.
A scientist remove a virus found in sheep's uterus, and the consequent is the sheep become unable to pregnant. Another scientist induce a virus in a brain of certain species of mice that is polygamous, ended up become monogamous!!!
Interesting hey?
Personally I believe cancer might be caused by virus. Why not, since many years ago, people think stomach cancer might due to genetic or daily life style, later they found it is caused by bacteria that hide in the stomach lining!!! Damn!!!
