Global climate change increases the risk of new virus transmissions from wildlife to humans. This is reported by American scientists, whose findings are published by Nature.
According to them, animals are increasingly forced to migrate due to climate change. This results in the transmission of viruses to previously isolated species. In some cases, the infection will be transmitted from animals to humans.
The scientists’ study models the change in habitats of 3,139 mammal species according to climate change and land use scenarios until 2070. According to the study, a large number of different animal species will be concentrated at high altitudes in regions with high population density in Asia and Africa. This will lead to more than 4 thousand cases of interspecies transmission of viruses.
Experts believe that this “environmental transition” is probably already underway, and even if global warming is limited to 2°C over pre-industrial levels for a century, this will not reduce the spread of viruses in the future.
