We already have mitoviruses, it stands to reason they they might adapt to infect mitochondria that are being delivered to cells.

We haven't found any mitoviruses in animals, yet, at least?

We have viruses in animals that reproduce using the mitochondria already, but don’t exclusively target the mitochondria. I believed these were categorized as mitoviruses but I was mistaken.

How did you get that (and what guarantees on data privacy?)

I’d be very interested

I used family tree dna. Not really much in the way of guarantees on data privacy as you'd expect (at least not from a software developer's perspective), but I figure it's challenging enough to abuse knowledge of my exact mitochondrial haplogroup, that if someone can do that, they can do worse anyway.

>Doesn't sound like getting them into every cell would be easy

>Viruses would be happy

As a programmer, I sometimes wondered at the value proposition of certain antiviral drugs, especially the ones that interfere with replication.
