Virus - Origins and Beginnings
The origins of viruses are not entirely clear and there may not be a single mechanism that can account for all viruses. Some of the smaller viruses that have only a few genes may have originated from host organisms. Their genetic material could have been derived from transferrable elements like plasmids or transposons. Viruses with large genomes may represent extremely reduced microbes which established symbiotic relations with host organisms, allowing the loss of some genes needed for existence independent of a host.
Other infectious particles which are even simpler in structure than viruses include viroids, virusoids, and prions.

Sneak-Peek of Global Oneness Community
Hi friend! The Global Oneness Community, the place for information and sharing about Oneness is not really launched yet (you will see there is still some clean up to do) ...but it is now open for a sneak-peek! And if you wish - please register and become one of the very first members to do so! Jonas
