Global biogeography of airborne viruses in public transit systems and their host interactions

There are biogeographical variations in airborne viruses in BEs in global cities, as physical and oligotrophic conditions in BEs drive virus survival strategies and virus-host coevolution. Moreover, the characteristics of airborne viruses in BEs are distinct from those of viruses found in other, more nutrient-rich ecosystems. Video Abstract.

Abstract

There are biogeographical variations in airborne viruses in BEs in global cities, as physical and oligotrophic conditions in BEs drive virus survival strategies and virus-host coevolution. Moreover, the characteristics of airborne viruses in BEs are distinct from those of viruses found in other, more nutrient-rich ecosystems. Video Abstract.
