Genetically modified virus

(Continued from past)

In no way does a country cross borders for natural spread. It can also spread to other countries by accident or intentionally. It can combine with other viruses. Can also change its own symptoms. It can jump from one species of rodent to another. Doing so can have dangerous consequences. It is as if a camel came out of a goat. The genetically modified virus will be limited to two years. It looks like it will be available in five years on a commercial basis. Extensive sterilization of female rats is its name.

This European domestic rat, which is a nuisance in Australia, may be a nuisance in Australia, but it is a native animal in many other countries. It is the link between the food chain of many different animals. If this link is lost, the natural conditions of the area i.e. 'ecology' will be harmed. Moreover, it is not a man-made virus that spreads from one place to another or from one animal to another. A team from New Zealand is changing the genetic characteristics of a worm called a parasitic nematode.

Making it a genetically modified organism. The aim is to sterilize a pest called Bushtail Prosums, which is a nuisance in New Zealand. But the good news is that the same pest is endemic in Australia, near New Zealand. There is no guarantee that the sterilized Kamini variety will not reach Australia. Once it is released, it cannot be returned. In New Zealand, the more it benefits, the more Australia will be disadvantaged.

In Europe, meanwhile, a GMG in Spain has been developed for a different purpose. These GM organisms are transmissible and can move from one to another. It is a living vaccine. It protects rabbits from myxopathosis and calcivirus disease.

The disease led to the extinction of a species of rabbit known as the Spanish Rabbit in Spain. He was saved by this living vaccine. In addition to hunting and subsisting on this population of rabbits, predators had to starve. Thus a link in the food chain was broken. On the other hand, the virus that spreads this disease is called 'Calcevirus'. Its farmers were happy to have it spread across Australia. It is useful in preventing the rapid growth of the Spanish rabbit population in Australia.

In order to control the rapid and widespread growth of fox populations in Australia, a virus called the canine hops virus has been used to sterilize foxes that have been exposed to the virus. The fox population is declining.

Similarly, a virus called 'cytomegalovirus' has been used to control the growing population of rats in Australia. Which sterilizes rats.

Some insects or creatures are not born the way we see them. Butterflies, for example, are not born butterflies. First it is an egg, then it becomes a caterpillar. It then transforms into cocoons and finally becomes a butterfly. Thus his state is transformed. His body is changing. This phenomenon is called 'transformation'. In English it is called 'Metamophoresis'. This also happens in frogs. In order to reduce the infestation of a species of frog in Australia called 'Ken Todd', the Rana virus has been shown to have symptoms that inhibit the process of metamorphosis from this frog.

A freshwater fish occurs. It is called 'Shafari'. In English it is called 'carp'.

We do the 'daughterless gene' in the work to increase its infestation. As a result, this fish is reproduced. But in reproduction only soft fish are produced. As a result, the working fish population gradually decreases.

Australia is a continent rich in wildlife. Problems arise when an organism is overgrown. To prevent this from happening, experiments are being carried out in various laboratories in Australia to produce transmissible GM organisms, i.e. 'transmissible GMOs'. Transmissible GMGs are viruses or other organisms whose genetic traits have been altered by genetic engineering.

The purpose here is not to eradicate any wildlife. Because every living thing is the same link connecting the whole life. Just like grasshoppers live by eating grass. Frogs live by eating these locusts. Snakes live by eating frogs. A hawk or an eagle lives by eating a snake. There are many such nutrition chains. If one of them loses its link in the middle, there is a danger with the rest of the creatures. Therefore, this important thing has to be kept in mind while controlling an organism.

The other thing is that it is necessary to control the infestation of an animal in one region but not at all in its neighboring region or other areas. On the contrary, reducing the population of the same species elsewhere would be detrimental to the wildlife and the nutrition chain. Therefore, care needs to be taken to ensure that such GMGs do not reach other areas. In addition, the mutated virus controls the population of some animals, but if the virus is applied to other animals, it poses a threat to the species.

Thus this man-made disease i.e. designer disease is a better method than the current chemical method to prevent the infestation of organisms. But its side effects require caution. Care must also be taken not to use it as a biological weapon against the enemy country and not to use it to terrorize terrorists.
