| [[File:Retrovirusiratusbug.jpg|300px|thumb]] Drug treatment developed by [[Dr. Carson Beckett's]] team on [[Atlantis]] in the hopes of extracting the D.N.A. of an [[iratus bug]] from a [[Wraith]], so that the human D.N.A. is all that remains. | | #REDIRECT [[Iratus bug retrovirus]] |
| After several months of development it was successfully tested, creating a human out of a Wraith: "[[Michael Kenmore]]." But the drug must continue to be taken to suppress the Wraith side, and when Michael stopped taking it he reverted to a sort of Wraith-human hybrid.

| [http://www.gateworld.net/atlantis/s2/207.shtml Instinct] - Dr. Beckett brings samples of the iratus bug retrovirus to Zaddik's planet in the hopes of using Ellia, a young female Wraith, as a willing test subject. To his horror, the compound has the opposite of its desired effect.<br />
| |
| [http://www.gateworld.net/atlantis/s2/218.shtml Michael] - Atlantis captures a Wraith and tests the retrovirus on him, creating a human who eventually finds out what they have done to him -- Michael.<br />
| |
| [http://www.gateworld.net/atlantis/s2/220.shtml Allies] - Atlantis allies with a Wraith hive ship to weaponize the retrovirus for them to use against rival hives.<br />
| |
| [http://www.gateworld.net/atlantis/s3/301.shtml No Man's Land] - The team uses the retrovirus on their former allies, turning the Wraith into humans and taking over the ship.<br />
