Join Jennifer and Sandy as we take a fresh look at the history of what lies under the permafrost in the realm of viruses. It is really interesting so take this trip with us!
re there "zombie" bacteria? Could they come back to life and infect other people? Join Jennifer Hynes & Sandy Schoelles as we introduce you to one permafrost virus hunter, and review current history & research regarding the existence of virus's beneath the melting permafrost. "It is thus likely that ancient permafrost (eventually much older than 50,000 years, our limit solely dictated by the validity range of radiocarbon dating) will release these unknown viruses upon thawing. How long these viruses could remain infectious once exposed to outdoor conditions (UV light, oxygen, heat), and how likely they will be to encounter and infect a suitable host in the interval, is yet impossible to estimate, but the risk is bound to increase in the context of global warming, in which permafrost thawing will keep accelerating, and more people will populate the Arctic in the wake of industrial ventures."
