The True Post(Web News) American scientists have warned that the world’s oceans are filling up with ‘giant viruses’.
Most viruses are less than 0.5 percent the width of a human hair, making them impossible to see with the naked eye. In contrast, researchers say that giant viruses are five times larger than these viruses. Worryingly, all 230 viruses were previously unknown to science. Furthermore, their effects on human health are unclear. Giant viruses usually infect small organisms such as algae and amoeba in the world’s oceans, but they can also survive on land. Experts say there is no doubt that giant viruses affect the entire environment, but the important thing is to highlight their impact on the marine environment.
