 Virus waiting!  They attack when given a chance, new research shows

<पी शैली ="टेक्स्ट-एलाइन: जस्टिफाई;">health News: For the last two and a half years, countries around the world were facing the Corona crisis. Millions of people around the world have died due to corona. Some countries are still facing this crisis. In such a situation, a shocking information has come to the fore. Viruses use information from their environment to decide when to remain dormant in the human body, when to grow and when to break down, according to new research. These viruses lurk in the human body. New research has shown that viruses take advantage of the ability to perceive their surroundings.

The virus is augmenting our ability to understand our environment with human-made elements, says Ivan Ariel, professor of biology and senior research fellow. Viruses are testing their abilities to their advantage. But in future we can take advantage of this and take measures to prevent the virus.

The new research focuses on bacteriophages. Viruses that infect bacteria are called phages. Research phages can infect the host only if the bacteria have appendages called pili and flagella. Which help in speed for its development and reproduction. These viruses produce a protein called CtrA. which control the production of these appendages. Ariel said that from what we know about phages, every evolutionary strategy they developed gives the virus an advantage. that infect plants and animals. So if phages listen to their hosts, the viruses that infect humans will do the same.

There are other examples of how phages monitor their environment. However, viruses do not involve multiple phages that use similar strategies to target their host or other bacteria. According to Ariel, this is the first research to demonstrate that phages monitor cell activity. He hopes that more research will be done on this in the future.
