Kakugo virus

Kakugo virus is a picorna-like virus most commonly found in the brains of worker bees. It is a subtype of the Deformed wing virus.[1] The Kakugo (Japanese for 'ready to attack') virus, when resident in a bee's brain, can contribute to aggressive behaviors similar to those preeminent during a bee's guard phase in their life cycle. Kakugo is the first virus to have been found to cause aggressive behavior, although because the virus was only recently discovered to have such effects, research into the matter is limited.

Analysis

Kakugo RNA encodes a protein of 2,893 amino acid residues that shares structural features and sequence similarities with various picorna-like virus polyproteins, especially those from sacbrood virus, which infects honeybees. The Kakugo protein contains several domains that correspond to the virion protein, helicase, protease, and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase domains of various picorna-like virus polyproteins.

gollark: The counterargument is that nonworker management might be good in terms of profit maximization but bad in other ways.
gollark: It could be argued that workers could just make their own company if they think they'd run it better.
gollark: i.e. are you required to provide people food and whatever, or just not steal it from them etc.
gollark: The difference is probably positive vs negative rights.
gollark: Anarchocapitalistic people would probably agree with that too.
