Found: The viral infection that makes nearly HALF of us more stupid (and it lasts for YEARS)

The virus - called chlorovirus ATCV-1 - was only known to appear in algae
Researchers in U.S. have not established how it comes to infect humans
It hasn't infected just swimmers, which rules out direct link to algae itself
Instead humans could've been carrying virus but was not known to doctors
Research suggests it alters genes in brain including memory and emotion
Scientists found 44 per cent of patients tested had virus in their throats

Those who were carrying the infection performed worse in intelligence tests, even when education and age were taken into account.
The virus - called chlorovirus ATCV-1 - was previously only known to appear in green algae in freshwater lakes.
The researchers, from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and the University of Nebraska, have not established how the virus comes to infect humans.
