Virus is a micro-organism that behave like living organ when it is hosted in other living organ. Independently, virus acts as non living organ in nature. Virus is an infectious agent that replicate only the inside of other living organ cell.
Virus can infect all kind of living organism, from animals and plants to bacteria and archaea. At first Dimitri Ivanovsky in a article describes a specific types of infection in tobacco by non pathogen. Martinus Beijerink at first discover Tobacco Mosaic Virus.
Study on virus in microbiology is called virology. Viral particle is independently called virions.
Virus consists with genetic material RNA or DNA, protein and lipid envelop.
Origin of virus is unclear. No exact evolutionary history. But, it is thought that some virus may evolved from plasmid, a species of DNA that can move. Some virus may be evolved from bacteria.
There have a certain cause of considering virus as living organ, because it carries genetic materials, reproduces and evolves through natural selection.
In evolution process virus have a significant role. Virus can causes horizontal gene transfer that increases natural diversity.
