Agency “Predict” finds another 92 coronary: Global warming brings new, explosive diseases

In recent years scientists have linked infectious diseases to animals, more accurately to wildlife. Most of these wild animals are shifting because of global warming that is cutting down their habitat, making them have closer contact with humans.

Recent efforts have revealed that a large reservoir of disturbing viruses and other microbes in animals can lead to disasters if humans infect people, writes the Daily Best, Periscope.

We can't just keep shutting down markets and disinfecting,” said Christine K. Johnson, professor of epidemiology and ecosystem at the University of California in Davis. “ ”

The market that invaded the headlines of world newspapers in recent weeks was the one in Wuhan, China, the focus of the deadly virus outbreak that has already killed over 100 people and affected 4 thousand and 700 others in 16 different countries of the world.

But long before this serious crisis, an American government effort called P REDICT had discovered over a thousand new viruses in animals in Asia and Africa alone.

She noted that in this group there were 92 Coronavirus, the family that includes SARS, MERCS and Wuhan's new coronary. The last virus has been linked to bats, perhaps as mediating animals with snakes sold on the market where the disease can pass on to humans.

Global warming can speed up animal displacement, and this is seen as the most dangerous.

One disturbing phenomenon is increased animal stress because of this shift and the life they live in animal markets.

When you're stressed, you have weaker immunity, and therefore you get viruses all the time,” she said. /Periscope
