Using phage virus to treat bacterial diseases or eliminate deadly drug-resistant bacteria; Make the virus into a precision-guided drug to specifically attack cancer cells; Viruses are also often used as vectors in gene editing technology to introduce new gene fragments.

According to statistics, even in the respiratory tract of healthy people, there are 174 viruses on average, of which only 10% is a close relative of the found virus, and the remaining 90% is still very strange. Thanks to these strangers, biotechnology has developed rapidly in the past century. Today, scholars at home and abroad are still committed to exploring the relationship between "virus and health", such as the pathogenicity and structural characteristics of virus. Only by understanding these problems can we achieve effective prevention. But what is certain is that in the face of the virus threat, human beings have gradually mastered more initiative.
1980, the world health organization officially announced that smallpox virus had been eradicated. AIDS has changed from a "super cancer" when it was discovered to a "chronic disease" that can be prevented and controlled; In 2009, China successfully developed influenza A vaccine for the first time, which effectively prevented and controlled the epidemic of influenza A (H 1N 1) for the first time, and proved that viral diseases were controllable.
