Researchers analyzed the sequence of a publicly available viral genome and found that humans can transmit the virus to animals, twice the number. That means, the number of viruses that come from animals to humans is twice as transmitted from humans to animals. Report According to , researchers looked at 1.2 crore virus genomes for this and found that about 3 thousand viruses can spread easily from one species to another.
Of these, 79 percent were viruses that can move from one animal species to another. The remaining 21 percent were viruses that have the potential to spread to humans. Of these 21 percent, 64 percent were viruses that can spread from humans to animals, this is called anthroponosis. Whereas 36 percent of these were viruses that can spread from animals to humans. This transmission is called zoonosis.
Man’s pets such as dogs and cats can become victims of anthroponosis. At the same time, animals reared for domestic work like pigs, horses, cattle etc. can also spread the virus from humans. Apart from this, chicks, ducks, chimpanzees, gorillas, monkeys, and other wild animals like raccoon, soft fur rat of Africa are also included in this list. Transmission from wild animals to humans has been reported more frequently than from other animals.
There are countless germs in humans and animals that can easily pass from one to another if they come too close. Whereas viruses can easily jump between different species. The infected fluid of the body is responsible for this. Or this transmission can also occur due to the bite of an animal. During the century there were many epidemics in which diseases caused by viruses, bacteria and fungi spread and millions of people died.
