Welcome to the Virus Realm
A virus’s significance is determined by the hosts it infects and its effects. Many viruses are important because they cause diseases in humans, animals, and crops. Let’s study them together to better understand these organisms.

Smallpox
The history of smallpox is unusual in medical history. It was one of the worst diseases ever known to humanity, and it remains the only human sickness to be wiped out through vaccination as of 2016.
HIV
During the twentieth century, HIV was the most significant novel pathogen. HIV has generated a worldwide epidemic since its discovery in 1981. HIV-1 has a lot of mutations and a lot of genetic variation, which makes efficient surveillance and disease control difficult.
