The macrovirus is a virus native to the Delta Quadrant that first infect the Garan. It started off as a normal, microscopic virus but evolved into a macrovirus by incorporating growth hormones into its amino acids.

The virus starts in a microscopic phase. It infects a host, causes fever and eventually unconsciousness. It moves into the victims nest, where it grows to 0.5 millimeters. It then "hatches", burrowing out of the neck and becoming airborne.

It grows very rapidly, reaching up to a meter before it stops.

The Doctor EMH from the USS Voyager was able to develop an antigen to kill the virus and cure its victims.
