DESCRIPTION:When Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species went to press
  in 1859\, viruses had yet to be discovered – it would be another 40 yea
 rs after publication before the ‘concept of viruses’ was proposed\, an
 d a century later before breakthroughs in viral research would provide a c
 lear understanding of their genetic make-up\, how they replicate and how t
 hey cause disease. Perhaps one of the most unexpected findings has been th
 e discovery of the degree to which viruses have been an evolutionary force
 \, as witnessed by the accumulating genetic and immunological evidence of 
 the ancient battles between viruses and their hosts. \n
