Discovering new 'monsters' has the ability to invade a human body

Scientists have discovered a virus with strange behavior, different from any previous virus, and this is really alarming.

Virus and transmission mechanism

Viruses are extremely small organisms, only one-hundredth the size of bacteria, but its frighteningness is not inferior to any creature in the world.

Once they enter the body, they will occupy the entire cell, turning it into their body. Then take the host cell and control the metabolic apparatus to make the host cell synthesize and assemble the virions.

Virions will continue to infect other healthy cells, which are the mechanism of infection and development of the virus. Before humans discovered the virus (in the late nineteenth century), it was really a terrifying enemy of humanity.

With the ability to copy and change the host cell structure, these are the "tiny zombies" that damage the host.

Recently, scientists also discovered a virus with strange behavior, unlike any previous virus, and this is really alarming.

Virus Guaico Culex (GCXV).

Strange new virus was discovered

As mentioned above, if the virus normally uses host cells after penetrating as a factory to produce new viruses by copying the new virus species, if outside the cell they will destroy themselves, the new virus. This need not penetrate host cells.

They can exist independently outside the cell as an independent body!

Scientists from the US Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases (US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases) published their findings in the Journal of Cell Host & Microbe Science.

This is really a new discovery about the virus, the object has been researched for a long time and is fighting against the infectious diseases like Zika.

Virus expert Edward Holmes from the University of Sydney, Australia said: "It is the strangest thing".

"If you compare it to the human body, it looks like an individual with legs, stems and arms, they combine and work like a single virus. I don't think any creature in nature. may be like that. "

New viruses always challenge humanity.

Scientists call it Guaico Culex (GCXV) virus - a "multi-component" virus found in mosquitoes.

The question that scientists fear is that in addition to mosquitoes, how many other animals can be infected by it. And how is its impact on different hosts?

Moreover, the fear is increasing as this species is thought to be closely related to the viruses of Jingmenviruses. This is a group of viruses that appear in monkeys.

So scientists fear that it could spread to primates, mammals and even humans. If it spreads to humans, this could be the most dangerous virus we face.

Is this small creature evolving to a new stage and becoming more frightening?

Hopefully we will find a way to control and destroy it, whether harmful or not to humans and other animals.
