Why are viruses a study in biology?
Viruses kill many hundreds of thousands of people each year. Because of the danger they pose to the population and because of their ability to adapt to new environments and treatments, viruses need to be constantly studied. Virologists, in conjunction with geneticists and biochemists attempt to culture specimens of viruses and to study their weaknesses. Some viruses (HIV) have been studied for several decades with no cure, but better understanding of their operation as a results. When scientists know more about how a virus works they can design better, more efficient treatments. Scientists have found cures (vaccines) to some viruses. Many of the influenza viruses have had vaccines developed for them including the most recent swine flu (H1N1).
