Is it simply a yet to be discovered virus that is of Earthly origins or could it be of extraterrestrial origins? via Unexplained-Mysteries: Scientists have identified a strange new type of virus with a genome that is almost entirely unknown to science. The mysterious pathogen, which was discovered in an artificial lake within the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte, has been named Yaravirus brasiliensis after a mythological water queen. It is particularly notable because it has a genome unlike that of any previously described virus. "Most of the known viruses of amoeba have been seen to share many features that eventually prompted authors to classify them into common evolutionary groups," the researchers wrote. "Contrary to what is observed in other isolated viruses of amoeba, Yaravirus is not represented by a large/giant particle and a complex genome, but at the same time carries an important number of previously undescribed genes." It has been speculated that Yaravirus could belong to a
