At the height of the H1N1 controversy, I was actually writing a research paper on the antimicrobial activity of plant extracts. But, because I also love to dig public places like malls, I was a little bit concerned about catching the formidable virus. Instinctively, I went on the web and read more about the recent species. By chance, I read an article citing the source of Tamiflu. Immediately, I went to the small store nearby and bought the spice. I made a tea out of it and took the concoction three to four times a day, for a week. Two weeks later, I had the chance to dig my favorite mall with more confidence. I think my experiment worked.

NOT ALIVE, BUT, DEADLY

Emerging strains of animal viruses are more deadly than one can ever think of. Engelkirk and Burton, in 2007 stated that this is in addition to the fact that these microscopic organisms are considered not alive and not cellular. Virtually, increased virulence and pathogenicity of new viruses can be ascribed to their expressed characteristics called phenotypes. These innovative phenotypes are actually the upshots of their advanced genetic material, which is either one of the two nucleic acids, DNA or RNA according to Engelkirk and Burton in 2007, and http://www.livescience.com/health/060605_mm_virus_infect.html
There could only be one customary explanation for the evolution of viruses DNA or RNA similar to evolution of other living things, as stated by http://www.panspermia.org/virus.htm. Obviously, it is adjustment which makes sure the stability of its breed.
