Víricosvíricas

Víricosvíricas

Víricosvíricas are a hypothetical class of microscopic entities that have been theorized in certain fringe biological texts but have not been observed or verified by mainstream science. The name is derived from the pseudo‑Latin roots *víricos* (related to "viable") and *víricas* (related to "virus"). Proponents of the concept propose that víricosvíricas represent a distinct lineage of pathogens that combine properties of both viruses and some form of replicating non‑cellular structures.

The proposed characteristics of víricosvíricas include a genome composed of a hybrid of RNA and DNA, an ability to evade cellular immune responses through an atypical surface protein, and a unique replication cycle that exploits both host cell machinery and a lysogenic-like process in a novel manner. Some theorists suggest that they might be responsible for a subset of unexplained disease outbreaks, though no empirical data support this claim.

Scientific consensus holds that no credible evidence exists for the existence of víricosvíricas. The concept is often cited in discussions of pseudoscience and serves as an example of how untested hypotheses can spread through unconventional media. Researchers have repeatedly called for rigorous peer‑reviewed studies to either demonstrate or refute the existence of these entities. Until such evidence is presented, víricosvíricas remain a speculative construct within popular science fiction and paranormal hypothesis literature.
