Cloned Virus

http://www.biologynews.net/archives/2010/09/14/welsh_scientists_clone_human_virus.html


A team of scientist have cloned a human viruse that may help in treatment for patients suffering from threatining diseases. A majorly infectious diseases, HCMV, is the main cause of malformations world wide. HCMV has been proven to be a threatining diseaese in people with HIV/AIDS. By cloning HCMV scientist can create a treatment to help those suffering from threating diseases. HCMV is the first virus to be perfectly copied outside of the body.

I think that this is another break through in helping cure life threatining diseases. The vaccines that can be created could help HIV/AIDS victims all over the world. I like that the scientist found away to clone the viruse outside the human body. This way no humans or animals were harmed.
