Mapping the Shadows: What New Virus Catalog Reveals About Our Next Pandemic A recent catalog of pathogens has shed light on which microorganisms pose the greatest threat to global health.
The study, led by Professor Mark Woolhouse at the University of Edinburgh, highlights the critical importance of understanding how viruses spread and evolve.
The research emphasizes the role of RNA viruses in recent pandemics, including SARS CoV 2 and HIV 1. These pathogens have been responsible for some of the deadliest outbreaks in human history.
