Study finds more viral transfers from humans to animals

News-Medical.Net — March 27, 2024, 11:00 AM UTC

Summary: Researchers analyzed 12 million viral sequences from NCBI to study viral host jumps. They found more viral transfers from humans to animals. 68% of sequences were SARS-CoV-2 related. 93% of vertebrate-related sequences were human-associated. 37% and 45% of non-human host sequences lacked metadata. 5,128 viral cliques were identified, with animal cliques dominating. Adaptation signals varied by virus family. Understanding viral diversity gaps is crucial for disease management.
