FEV (Forced Evolutionary Virus)

FEV, or Forced Evolutionary Virus, is a fictional concept often used in science fiction stories. It describes a virus engineered to intentionally accelerate a virus's ability to adapt and evolve rapidly. This process allows the virus to overcome immune defenses, improve its infectivity, or develop resistance to treatments more quickly than naturally possible. Essentially, FEV is a manipulated virus designed for swift evolutionary change, often used to explore themes of biological warfare or dangerous artificial pathogens in storytelling. It is not a real virus but a concept used to examine potential biotechnological risks and ethical concerns.
