In the last few years, if humans were troubled by anything the most, it was viruses. Corona virus created an uproar all over the world, crores of people died due to it. But are viruses only bad for humans? Experts believe that this is not so. In fact, if there were no viruses on this earth, life would not be possible here. If today all the viruses are eliminated from the earth, then all the living beings on the earth will die in just one and a half days. Let us know why viruses are necessary for life.
What experts say
According to a report published on BBC, America’s Wisconsin-Madison University epidemiologist Tony Goldberg says on this, "If suddenly all the viruses are eliminated from the earth, then it will take only one to one and a half days for all the living beings on this earth to die. Goldberg says that viruses are the backbone of life on this earth. This is the reason why we should ignore their evils.
How important are viruses
Many types of viruses are found in the world. One virus which makes us sick and the other virus which does not harm us and by living in the environment, it makes it balanced. Experts say that it is sad that we mostly study germs and find out about them. Whereas, we know very little about such viruses which keep us closer to life. For example, one virus was herpes.
This virus can protect us from diseases called plague and listeria. Mice suffering from herpes are protected from the bacteria causing such diseases. Similarly, GB virus C is also one such virus. It is a distant relative of the virus responsible for dengue. If you are infected with this virus then the AIDS disease does not spread rapidly in you. And because of this, the risk of dying from Ebola virus also reduces.
Why do humans give birth to children instead of eggs
According to this report, Today, if humans are giving birth to children directly instead of eggs, then this too is due to a virus infection. In fact, 130 million years ago, retrovirus infection spread on a large scale among the ancestors of humans. Due to this infection, the ability to conceive became possible in humans.
