virus /vir ss/ noun 1 a submicroscopic infective particle which is able to multiply within the cells of a host organism and typically consists of nucleic acid coated in protein. 2 informal an infection or disease caused by such an agent. -originally denoting the venom of a snake: from Latin, ‘slimy liquid, poison’

its older than we think
Perhaps the first written record of a virus infection consists of a hieroglyph from Memphis, the capital of ancient Egypt, drawn in approximately 3700BC, which depicts a temple priest called Ruma showing typical clinical signs of paralytic poliomyelitis
The Pharoh Ramses V, who died in 1196BC, is believed to have succumbed to smallpox - observe the pustular lesions on the face of the mummy

Smallpox was endemic in China by 1000BC. In response, the practice of variolation was developed

recorded beginnings
Edward Jenner
1796: Small Pox Vaccine
1880: Robert Koch & Louis Pasteur jointly proposed the 'germ theory' of
disease

1885: Louis Pasteur experimented with rabies vaccination, using the term virus (Latin for ‘poison’) to describe the agent.

12th February 1892: Dmitri Iwanowski, presented a paper to the St. Petersburg Academy of Science describing extracts from diseased tobacco plants could transmit disease to other plants after passage through ceramic filters fine enough to retain the smallest known bacteria.
1898: Martinus Beijerinick, contagium vivum fluidum

1908: Karl Landsteiner and Erwin Popper proved that poliomyelitis is caused by a virus. First evidence of human viral disease.

1911: Francis Peyton Rous demonstrated that a virus (Rous Sarcoma Virus) can cause cancer in chickens (Nobel Prize, 1966). Rous was the first person to show that a virus could cause cancer.

1915: Frederick Twort 1917: Felix d'Herelle
Bacteriophage

1935: Wendell Stanley crystallized TMV and showed that it remained infectious (Nobel Prize, 1946).
1938: Max Theiler developed a live attenuated vaccine against yellow fever (Nobel Prize, 1951).

1940: Helmuth Ruska used an electron microscope to take the first pictures of virus particles.
1939: Emory Ellis and Max Delbruck established the concept of the ‘onestep virus growth cycle’ essential to the understanding of virus replication (Nobel Prize, 1969).

1941: George Hirst demonstrated that influenza virus agglutinates red blood cells. This was the first rapid, quantitative method of measuring eukaryotic viruses. Now viruses could be counted!

1949: John Enders, Thomas Weller, and Frederick Robbins were able to grow poliovirus in vitro using human tissue culture (Nobel Prize, 1954). This development led to the isolation of many new viruses in tissue culture.

1952: Renato Dulbecco showed that animal viruses can form plaques in a similar way as bacteriophages (Nobel Prize, 1975).
1957: Heinz Fraenkel-Conrat and R. C. Williams showed that when mixtures of purified tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) RNA and coat protein were incubated together virus particles formed spontaneously.

1963: Baruch Blumberg discovered Hepatitis B Virus
(HBV) (Nobel Prize, 1976). Blumberg went on to develop
the first vaccine against HBV.
1957: Carleton Gajdusek proposed that a ‘slow virus’
is responsible for the prion disease kuru (Nobel Prize,
1976).

1967: Theodor Diener discovered viroids, agents of plant disease that have no protein capsid.
1970: Howard Temin and David Baltimore independently discovered reverse transcriptase in retroviruses (Nobel Prize, 1975).

1977: Frederick Sanger and colleagues determined the complete sequence of all 5375 nucleotides of the bacteriophage øX174 genome (Nobel Prize, 1980).
1976: J. Michael Bishop and Harold Varmus determined that the oncogene from Rous sarcoma virus can also be found in the cells of normal animals, including humans (Nobel Prize, 1989).

1979: Smallpox was officially declared to be eradicated by the World Health Organization (WHO).

1982: Stanley Prusiner demonstrated that infectious proteins he called prions cause scrapie, a fatal neurodegenerative disease of sheep (Nobel Prize, 1997).
1983: Luc Montaigner, Françoise Barré-Sinoussi and Robert Gallo announced t h e d i s c o v e r y o f h u m a n immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the causative agent of AIDS.

2003: Number of confirmed cases of people living with HIV/AIDS worldwide reached 30 million, and still the AIDS pandemic continues to grow. The newly discovered Mimivirus became the largest known virus, with a diameter of 400 nm and a genome of 1.2 Mbp. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) broke out in China and subsequently spread around the world.
