História em quadrinhos de 1992 escrita por Chuck Pfarrer e desenhada por Howard Cobb
Virus é uma história em quadrinhos da Dark Horse Comics, escrita por Chuck Pfarrer, desenhada pelo artista canadense Howard Cobb e publicada pela primeira vez em 1992. A história é sobre uma forma de vida alienígena que assume o controle de um navio de pesquisa da Marinha Chinesa e o reconfigura—usando tanto a eletrônica danificada quanto os corpos mortos da tripulação, ela se propaga criando várias "criaturas" feitas de partes orgânicas e inorgânicas. Quando um navio de salvamento aparece, eles têm que lidar com a forma de vida ou ser tomados também.
“Contrarily, there is also mounting evidence that viruses could play a protective role against autoimmunity, whereby viral infections trigger regulatory immune responses, which in turn prevent the onset of autoimmune reactions. It is reasonable that the dual impact of viral infections on autoimmunity is coordinated by different host, viral and environmental factors.”
“When my colleagues and I discovered the first human retrovirus that causes a form of leukemia, a fatal neurological disease, the Journal of Virology rejected the paper. They more or less told me, "Bob, everybody knows it's not real — and go away." I said, "Wow." But then it got published in the Proceedings of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.”
