Viruses dominate all habitats of life and are normally defined as pathogens. Their bad
reputation originates from pandemics such as Influenza, HIV, Sars-CoV-2. However, most
viruses are not enemies or killers, and play important roles in the origin, development and
maintenance of life of all species on our planet. Furthermore, thanks to the progress of
scientific research, viruses have also been tamed to bring healthy genes into cells and
humans to cure diseases such as cancer and genetic disorders.
