Thousands-years-old deep-sea DNA viruses reveal the evolution of human pathogenic viruses
Our findings present all the ancient pathogenic DNA viruses of humans found in the deep sea for the first time, highlighting the source of the future epidemics. It is imperative to implement the stringent virus monitoring and management measures for human activities in marine environments to address the emerging challenges of marine biosecurity and promote sustainable use of oceans.
