we can not see many virus with an electron microscope. but in 2011 researchers discovered a larger virus named ” megavirus chiilensis” on ocean floor of the coat of las cruces, chile. it can be seen with basic light microscope

6 and 7 doesn’t contradict.. it evolves only inside the cell..when it buds out of the cell
it stays as it is..

Sir, Thanks for posting virus facts….Sir there are few more facts i wanted to add:

1. Viruses like Arena virus bear ribosomes for unknown reason, due to which they have sandy appearance( Arena=Sand).

2. HBV virus is exeption to the defenition as it contains dsDNA as well as traces of RNA.

3. Vaccinia virus DNA replicates outside nucleus as it bears its own DNA pol.

4. Polio virus uses protein VpG as primer to replicate its RNA genome( in general, primers are RNA made). In case of HIV tRNA acts as a primer.

5. Some viruses like “stealth adapted viruses” exhibits zero immune response in host.

6. Semliki Forest Virus and Seneca valley viruses do exhibit potential role of Oncolysis in cancer therapy.

7. Occluded viruses follow conditional infection mode with thier partner viruses.

8. Kola retrovirus is the only real time endogenous virus ( I am uncertain about MMTV).

9. Viteria: Viruses of eukaryotes harbour bacterial genes( Virus+Bacteria=Viteria).

10. Virus(Ad6) belongs to Adenoviridae causes Obesity in mice and humans.

After considering these facts, Viruses should’nt be boring.

fact 6 and 7 contradict itself.

6 stats that virus does not evolve while 7 states that virus mutates.

a positive mutation is evolution so the fact about viruses not evolving is false.

I just added a link to blog post in which the 200 million light year
number is calculated out. It's at
http://www.phagehunter.org/2008/09/how-far-do-t....

Nice fact about all the viruses in the oceans lined up would be 200 light years long. I don't know how you calculated it, but the numbers don't work out given your other fact about 10^30 virions in the oceans.

If the average length of a virus is 100nm (I guess), then the total length of all the virions in the oceans is 10^-7 × 10^30, which is 10^23 meters. 10^23m is over ten million light years! That is long enough for two and a half round-trips from here to the Andromeda galaxy! Far out…
