Viruses are undoubtedly well known for the wide variety of diseases and problems they cause globally. However, a great deal of research has allowed us to understand to some extent the true nature of many of the viruses with which all species on the planet coexist. Thus, it has been shown that many of them have established symbiotic relationships with individuals from different kingdoms. It has also been found in the genome of many species elements known as «transposons» that come from the incorporation of genetic material from certain viruses and that over time have been consolidated as genetic material specific to the species. There are viruses that, oddly enough, have also helped some organisms. Our own species, for example, benefits from the infection of the GBV-C pegivirus, which can interfere with or even prevent HIV-1 infection. Similarly, the so-called oncolytic viruses, although mostly non-naturally occurring, are viruses that have been genetically modified for use in the treatment of various types of cancer. This article aims to show examples of viruses that have been able to positively influence the evolution of species, as well as the mechanisms they have employed.
